460 F350 Better mpg and power intake mod 

What gear ratio did you go with?

@@zacharynewcomb8508 I don't have it anymore I sold it but I had 410 I got electric bike now

@@angeljohnson3004 sure it is at 55 mph

How’s your mpg doing

ricochetey thank you! Some people just don’t get it

Although from this era the diesels were also low maintenance. Nowadays I don’t know if there is benefit to owning a diesel due to all the electronics and emissions systems

I live in the Midwest. Diesels do have better low end torque but where I live it gets too cold for that to be reasonable unless you have a business. Can't leave it outside for my workshift in the negatives without it gelling. I got the 460 instead.

Until you get to 1999 with the aftercooler the 460 is more powerful than the 7.3 diesel.

@HZB OcYpcWr'Ctwu Odzs from 91 to 99 anything you can do with a 7.3 you can do with a 460.

I think the best trucks ever are the 460 ford f350 and the 7.3 powerstroke f350 all trucks in the 70s are cool too

Good one ‼️... Now that's MY KIND OF ENGINEERING...

makes sense

Did the engine run rough at first after deleting egr?

@christianramirez4107 lil bit smoothened out pretty quick though

Appreciate the info, will have to do that for sure!

It has far too many bends. Starts out as a not very large opening . Then gets larger. Then flat then large again. It's got a lip on the very front that hooks to the left ( driver's side). Making it sort of a side draft..Cut that off! Let the air come straight in.

I wish I understood this so I could do it to my 97 f250.

Ryan Hynes You put a Cummins into your vehicle that had a gas or did you just get a new vehicle is what you’re saying lol

@@byrne5948 I put a 24v cummins with a VE pump in my F350 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uwIvOi94t8Y.html

My dream truck

How the power? My 89 is a dog

@@arsenalgarage7767 sorry that should have been factory timing was 10.

@@jnetwork7159 power is good. Revs more freely and just feels more responsive.

🤣🤣🤣

MI Backwoods nice I got a 1993 f250 460 5 speed 4x4 not that bad on fuel likes to go 80 mph👍🏻 easy

Gorilla Cookies how would the 6AL work with the distributor setup? It would be used in place of the stock ignition? Would that be a plug and play type of setup? I have already added new wires and plugs, and a new stock replacement distributor. Not MSD but it's new and works well.

Roxie zwell: clean up port the heads mainly exhaust. Thinner head gasket. Compression needs to be minimum 9.1 max 9.5 .480-500 lift cam 196-212 duration @.50... good flowing exhaust. I built one for dads dually truck it gets extremely good at minimum 20mpg @60mph. It has the 4.3 crank. Scj heads 9.5 cr .519 lift .218 duration @.50. Cam installed straight up" no advanced. 2" headers , dual 3" no cats 4 mufflers.. performer rpm intake with 750 quick fuel carb. C6 with Gear vendor dana 70 ,3.73 and 32" tires. Mild performance gas motors with lots of mid range torque gearing get usually the best mileage around 1500-2300 rpm

How's the rv running? I got a 94 rv on an e350 chassis... About to do this mod, as this is not the first time I've had it suggested to me to increase mpg. Next up, Headers.

I've got an emissions test. Never had issues with stuff like that. Yours must be far more strict

Appreciate it!

Might be part of it lol.

I ms. Daisy the shit out of my 97 250 and I'm getting like 7mpg

@@cody4258 same here 6 or 7 mpg with the ac off 97 f250 460 just rebuilt the heads and now around 10 mpg at highway speeds around. Town 6 mpg stop and go

@@JamesSmith-lt5zz did you cut out the air horns like this video shows? It helped me about 2 mpg

Arsenal Garage is there a difference between a 91 Ford F-350 extended cab dually gas vs a 97 f-350 crew can diesel power stroke

Also might do 456 gears

I got the same could you tell a difference?

@@Cleanmoneyjoc1211 oh yeah. Throttle response was a night and day difference. Dropped in a new filter, washed my airbox out, and it runs alot better. Throttle response is like a new truck. No more delay.

@@alec4453 preciate that !

ATX-CVPI I’ve heard some preliminary numbers from owners and right off the bat with a light foot, not even broken in they are turning 13/14 mixed. Which is respectable.

Wouldnt that be noisy and not pass inspection down at the DEQ station?

@@geraldhenrickson7472 no they wouldn't care what air filter u are running and it's a 460 U are going to hear it run

I'll definitely have to look into it more on this truck, but I have had them on other trucks and vehicles with no problem. I think the issue most people run into is not using high enough cfm fans/not using a shroud.

@@arsenalgarage7767 yeah. Same thing I was thinking but I don't know how much belt driven moves so I have to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Tow with a 460 you're funny. Mine could barely tow an empty two horse trailer.

I’ve had my 95 F350, 4x4, Crew Cab with stock 460 since new. Got it tow my 22.5 Mastercraft Maristar wakeboard boat. Never seen the temp gauge move until climbing the Baker Grade on the way to Lake Mojave. Been parked for a while. Thinking of building a Torque Monster!

@@ryanh1222 are you serious? Your truck must have had issues cause my 97 7.5 will pull anything. Daily pulls 14 foot dump trailer with 4-6 tons of stone.

Replace it with what??! Map sensor is necessary

What did you replace it with? Is there a specific brand you used?

@@chrisedwards7485 NAPA

Did your replace it with a stock one from Napa or a performance one?

It was a full dual 2 1/2". I believe they were slp loudmouth 1s

I feel on average I see 1-2 mpg, sometimes more. Not huge gains, but the power I feel like I've gained from it is well worth it for a free modification. It really did feel like it freed it up, another thing I did recently is I actually took off the cat and added a magnaflow muffler. That made a world of difference in power for me. I'm not sure on mpg yet. But the great thing is if you don't like the intake mod, you can go to the junkyard and find another one for a few bucks!

You know I totally spaced that, I'll have to take that into account next time.

Arsenal Garage ya i had a 88 F-250 with the 460 and i thought i was getting 3 MPG but then i realized that it would be off because of the 35s

@@TheJigglyJO I get around 6 to 7 with the stock. Tires

mama mia you must be rippin that puppy

It's an option. I have a 96 250 5 speed and I have a tach

@@scottpeterson796 I just bought the same pick up.... Once I switched tanks, the truck has some hesitation at times, I think it was old fuel. Do ya think it's just a clogged fuel filter?

@@JesseBeahm could be alot of things. but it could also just be a bad fuel fuel filter or maybe the pump is getting tired

@@scottpeterson796 thanks

HERPY DERPEDY , You can easily put a tach in yours. The gauges are modular and can be added. Just get a gauge set from another truck or Bronco with a tach and put it in yours. The wiring harnesses are all the same and the tach will work.

Differences in the 460.

@@skipstein744 yup because of emissions the 460 got tuned down a little every year from 91 to 97 most of it was in the exhaust and air intake they really restricted it to the point some people claim just opening up the intake and straight piping a 97 will add like 80-100hp although I'm not sure how true that part is.

Speed density only has about 30 or so combinations. Mass air computer can adjust to about any condition because it calculates 5 sensors vs so. Density uses 3 sensors the real difference 97 cal obd 2 mass air vs speed density fires 4 injectors at a time mass air is sequential mileage wise 5 mpg + mods are much easier with mass air. I dumped both went to Holley terminator X way easier! Hopefully this helps.

You posted this comment a while ago, but I was just wondering how well the Terminator X worked, since I can't seem to find any info from guys who installed it, about power or mpg increases with it

On a 5.0, to the upper intake.

Might be the distributor, but if it is that it usually starts right back up

His check engine light was already on. Probably due to vacuum leaks. These motors are notorious for that. 460 efi guys sell actual smog delete kits and manifold upgrades. Check them out.

Thank you...electronic 4 speed with overdrive...e4od....a lot of people dont get that for some reason

Just bought one with almost 56k and drove it home a couple of hours ago. Need to fix a few things but it drove out great. Leaving for Florida from Iowa in three weeks in it, so anything that I can do that's cheap or free is a bonus for MPG.

Got a 97 Jayco RV with this motor. What did you end up doing and how did it work?

Alex Erickson you will get get low single digit mileage with 400 horse but that combo will last forever

@@joshuagodsey3731 Probably right. LOL. Or I could get a 12 valve cummins or 7.3 powerstroke diesels.

Bolt ons and a small cam, older timing chain setup, will get the desired horsepower easily. I recommend using a zf-5 and if it's a daily driver go with a fuel injection engine. You'll get better power and reliability.

Get in the dash and take some pliers and Smash the check engine light. Works until about 2012. Guy I knew did it to his 2012 Honda and the car wouldn't start once he crushed the check engine led. It was very common for people remove dash lights or block it out or something. We got rid of inspection stickers. Because only state troopers could issue tickets for them here. It's a state requirement not local. All they did was check horn and lights windows for tint and cracks. Whether it was a dealership or a quick lube the sticker is always blank on the back. No one ever filled them out ever. Have illegal tint give the kid a jiffy lube a 20 dollar tip get a sticker slapped on and tint pass sticker and off you go. They were only 5 dollars but much cheaper to give them a 20 keep the change then to fix a cracked windshield or something. And maybe 30 percent of time did anywhere actually check the lights and horn. If you looked like a working man you were in and out. No emissions laws in Mississippi we remove our cats and put real exhaust in. Every car or truck I've removed the Cats on a nice jump in mpg. I'd rather get better gas mileage and better performance then to burn more gas and be less responsive. Open carry, car is extension of your home except locked compartments. So you can ride with one in the chamber legally. Just like your house, no emissions laws, no state inspection stickers anymore, and fuck roe Vs Wade, our heartbeat abortion laws. I'd never tell a woman what to do with her body. But it's not her body she wasn't born with the baby inside her. It's just a clump of cells it's not life. All you are is a clump of cells heart bone, organs etc. If your not a life then ok it's not a life. Rape and incest make up less the 1 percent of abortions yearly. And I'll Concede incest genetic DNA problems. Or any health issue that threaten the mother. But for rape it's a very horrible horrible thing to happen to someone. I have two sonograms in my hands which one is the baby of rape? Play god because of that you die because your dad was a piece of shit there are other options. New life has few friends but plenty of enemies. 3 guaranteed freedoms. Life,liberty, pursuit of happiness. No stipulations life is protected. At conception it's not your body anymkre. That clump of cells is the same clump of cells as you are. It can't survive without mother. Babies though elementary school would die if not for the mother. They can't take care of themselves either. We need one definition of life. If I ran a red light as she's turning into the abortion clinic it's murder times 2. If I kill her in her house the forensics are going to find 2 separate DNA samples. They would know two people were involved. It's it's not a life why isnt it a clump shower instead of baby. Men get no say she can keep the baby and force child support or she can get a abortion up till and birth you can have post birth abortions 2 weeks. They keep them alive until they have patients lined up for the organs then the baby dies. The rich people get the organs for there kids. Listen to the governor of Virgina on camera say we will resuscitate the baby, we will keep the baby warm and comfortable and then mother and Dr will have a discussion on to do next. This is infanticide. If a man decided two weeks later he wants a abortion be goes to prison for murder and even prisoners are rough on him. For women you can habe your baby aborted two weeks after birth for organ harvesting and it's health care. Safe legal and rare is no being told is health care. Name anythint a man can do a women can't? A man can't start a heart beat of a human and be cheered as a hero. Unless woman are born with embroys from birth and she has 20 toes 20 fingers penis and vagina's, multiples of the same organs. Teeth etc. Rant over shit really pisses me

How do you set that up?

I've head of people using the MAF system from an old 5.0 mustang. EFI 460 are all SD except for a few that were sold in CA I guess

@@ssimon64 1996 and 1997 California 460 trucks that were under 10k gross weight got the MAF system, which is why you never see it in the F-Super Duty ones. You can take a Mustang or Bronco computer (I forget which catch codes), or one from a Lightning (perfect because it already had an E4OD), rejigger the wiring harness and put a chip in the ECM port, you have MAF. It's more involved than that, but that's the basics. The easiest way, is to find the original parts from a 460, and slap them on your truck.

@@alanwoodwind5265 I bought a 89 460 truck F350 4X4. It actually has the C6 transmission so I don't have to worry about controlling the transmission. I've been reading and learning about how the SD system doesn't really like mods, so I'm considering the options of going MAF or just switching to a carb.

@@alanwoodwind5265 It actually runs really good stock but it would be nice to be able to mod it and tune it how I like.

Crankcase breather

@@v908 thanks

NOT crankcase breather (which attaches to a PCV like 'filter' in the lower part of the airbox}. This hose supplies filtered air to the idle air circuit, which enters the intake manifold right below the throttle butterflies.

I assume you're talking about the truck, I actually got this truck on a trade for a different truck

Yeah that's a nice truck

Yeah that sounds like the better way to lol

I have a 96 460 with 300k miles and can’t decide on rebuilding the engine and getting it built nice or p-pump 12v swapping it. Any advice? I would sell the engine to buy the 12v. If I chose that route

@@codywells3968 Depends what you use the truck for. If you use it everyday, and not go to far, I would build the 460. If you go longer distances and haul weight, then the Cummins would be the way to go. Horsepower can be had with both engines, depending on how much you want to spend. Me, I am all about towing so the Cummins gets the nod. I got tired of watching the fuel gauge fall as I drove with the 460.

@@oby-1607 it is amazing to watch it. You know nobody believes me about the gas mileage. Most people are use to cars and smaller v8 trucks or diesels. Until I show them. Look now and let's go 50 miles round trip to town and back and look where it's at. Even babying it. Wanna run AC another gallon easy to run that. I blew a head gasket on mine, I choose to rebuild it. The bottom end was still solid shape. Had the heads reworked all new valves pushrods seals etc. New timing chain. Water pump was gone impellers gone. When the coolant ruptured it shot hot coolant on my alternator and burned that up. And the radiator had a hole in it. New radiator, new negative plate inside rotor cap. New copper plugs and wires. Besides power steering and oil pump the top end and accessories are new. About a year ago, then about 4 weeks ago fuel pump went out. My fault though for neglecting for fuel filters. What a difference with the new fuel pump and filters it was like when the top end was rebuilt could feel the new power. It ran so much better with the new fuel pump. And quieted down the motor alot. I didn't realize how restricted the fuel was. The engines are bullet proof if you take care of them. 220k and the bottom end was solid still. I only run non ethanol gas unless I'm out of town and have to run premium. If I don't have non ethanol I run mmo in the gas

@@codywells3968 diesel engine cost 2k to buy requires 1k in parts to swap. fuel is 70 cents more a gallon currently. parts for repair are more.

they didnt have this had two straight tubes all the way to the air box.
