That motor will get about 8MPG in anything you put it in. there not very fast motors but can be made to go fast. there more of the work horse motors the 429 was made to go fast. but you can find plenty of go fast parts for a 460.

would be good in an off road recovery truck or a mudder. or a tow truck. those 460's make max TQ at 2,100RPM lol.

If the motor runs and runs half way descent it could be worth some money. Put it in the classifieds and see what happens. Got a buddy who builds these things they can really lay the rubber down if ya want em to. But yeah 8mpg is probably a little optimistic.

If it runs, try and sell it. My parents have a 460 in their 92 250. They get about 12mpg all the time. Empty and towing their trailer. The 460 has gobs of torque
