Hey everyone, been on the forum for a while now getting advice on building my 460 for my 69 torino. Anyway, I've been needing a truck for a while and I ran across this F350 4x4 I really liked, turns out it has a 460, E40D, so I snagged it. It mainly a parts hauler.
The salesman said the motors been rebuilt but I see no visual evidence of it. Its got a ton of miles (225k) and still runs very strong. I've been driving to and from work for the last few days just make sure its sound. I've fixed a bad ground causing starting issues, fixed a vacuum leak, tension pulley was shot and some cosmetic stuff. Basically visually inspected everything and checked fluids.
Problem is, this morning couple of times the engine has just cut out while cruising, rpm drop almost to zero, come back up, check engine light flickers when the engine cuts, then everything is fine. I ran my obd-I code scanner on KOEO, everything came out 111,1,111,1 . Which I read means all is well. Its not running rich, and the only time its burning oil is morning startups
I suspect fuel filter? maybe pump? Does it have a pump for each tank? and a single fuel filter? Im not to schooled on these trucks and dual tanks. Plugs and wires seem to be in good shape.

p.s if this engine craps out, I'll use the efi and tranny for the Torino
