casting #s please from heads and block

Im not a ford guy but it looks to me that the oil pan is on backwards.  One more dumb question : did it come out of a v-drive?

it came out of an 18 nordic. he is going balls out and building something sick! 

460's have both, front and rear sump, depending on application. Almost every boat application I've seen so far was with a front sump, to the engine, pan though. (Oil pumps in the front as well, with the dizzy, lol).

Problems I have HEARD MENTION of, mostly from Mike Kaase's school of thought is, breakage of pickups or housings on oil pumps using rear sump and Boat pans, (Such as a Milodon marine, canton or the various others out there). Kaase makes a special pump et al to "fix" this.

I've never seen it happen, or heard of it actually happening, in my short time with the 460, but mine with the rear located pickup and Milodon pan has been fine thus far.

Actually, I've got a 460 Hardin Marine engine closer to him than me right now! lol. (Glenn, you know where this place is, I'm horrible with logistics in Cali, the engine is STILL there, no problems or hurry, but maybe Proppy can use it? get it to him for what I got in it? maybe?)

Is this engine still available?

yes it is!
