I may buy out a small business, and the current owner has a 1994, F250 with a 460 engine that he wants to sell as part of the deal.
I am not sure I want this old gas hog, and do not know much about the 460 in general.
The truck is an extended cab, long bed, auto trans. with XLT trim. It has 178,000 on it.
The engine has 4000 miles on it since getting new exhaust manifold gaskets. He says it uses about 1 qt of oil every 5000 miles. The owner is an elderly gentleman who has babied this truck, and overall, it looks to be in very nice condition, and runs nice and smooth.
Were these old 460's good engines. Will it have many miles left in it, or is it probably nearing the end of life, since it is edging in on 200,000 miles?
Any info would be appreciated.
