free 460 engine

my neighbor has an old, perhaps 80's, Icasta camper he said I could have.
don't know the engine size for sure but I am assuming its a 460.
if it is, is it worth taking it out?
I would have to then have a junk man come get the camper for scrap.
I also assume it does not run but American V8's are cheap as dirt to rebuild....compared to a porsche

460's are great. Stupid power. Cheap. I wouldn't assume the RV had a 460. Lots of power options. Mostly all good for toys. Just don't put whatever you get in a 911 - that is a sin.

Unless you want to sit on it in case the price of scrap goes through the roof, it's not worth much. It's a heavy lump of inefficient iron.

There is much truth in the words you speak.

The 385 family which includes 429 and 460 are affectionately known as "boat anchors". Pass.

The 460 became instantly obsolete as a truck motor the minute the direct injection, Powerstroke diesel debuted. It did the job ok but at a huge cost in fuel and w/o the torque of even the earliest DI turbo diesels.
