If you have a 1987 model carburetted 460 and not a 1988 model EFI 460, then the majority of the engine parts are readily interchangeable.will parts from at 87 460 fit a 73 460?? like swamping the oil pan around on the 87 so its a front sump?? intake??heads??

As far as swapping oil pans between the two engines so that the 1987 is a front sump:
- Use the oil pan bolt hardware from the 1987 engine, because the forward most and rearward most bolts for to that block are different than the 1973 engine.
- The original pan for the 1987 engine has the dipstick in the pan, so when you swap to the front sump pan you may need to swap front timing covers so that you may use the front sump style timing cover which has the dipstick in the cover. Keep the 1973 dipstick with the cover.

yesyes it is A carberated 87 460...SO then all i need is the bolts from the 87 and use the oil pump, pan and timing cover off the 73?
And the 1973 dipstick, yes.yes it is A carburreted '87 460...SO then all i need is the bolts from the 87 and use the oil pump, pan and timing cover off the 73?
And the 1973 dipstick, yes.

You need to change out the D9TE-AB's male-female filter adaptor to the early-style male-male filter adaptor. We sell performance filter adaptors and I have just one remaining on the shelf until the next production run.thanks guys
the block # is D9TE-AB
Paul,
the only problem that I see is the oil filter, how do i make it so it will take a screw on filter??
Being this motor is going in my Jet Boat, I was thinking I should get a better oil pump and pan for it what do you guys have or recommend. I think Im going to thrown on some new head gaskets also.

The 79-up female-to-male filter adaptor is removed with a socket. The male-to-male filter adaptor in your link is installed with a 7/16" Allen wrench that fits the ID of that particular adaptor.How do you change it out/ do that?
And how much for the Performance adapters?
anything like this???
