Engine id help, please!

Well I supposedly just bought a 460..it looks kinda like my 351M a little bit (I hope I didn't buy another 351M...gr).

I got these numbers and letter on the back on the block
7Y942909


So, any idea if this is a 460?

[ranger11]

Thats not the right number.. The number your looking for starts with a letter either C, D, E.

DIVE-6015-A2B

I've never seen a casting number like that before. The engine casting number is on the passenger side of the block right behind the starter.

Richard beat me to it. I think its a D1 at the beginning which means its from a 1971, I'm searching for what everything means though for you.

[Confederate]

7Y942909 is on the rear of the engine on the driverside.

That other number I gave you was on the right side under the intake manifold.

Thanks for helping me. I tried to look but I couldnt find much. I registered on 460 Ford to see if they know but I cant post on that yet.

[Confederate]

BTW it is D1. Thought it was a I. lol.

[Jimmy]

D = 70's
1 = 1971
V = Lincoln
E = Engine engineering department
6015 = Engine Block

So a 429 or 460?

I think a 460 from what I looked up

[Jimmy]

They use the same block I think.

[Confederate]

I wonder what I need to do this swap?

Heard people say since it's a Lincoln it make need some other stuff.
