Bought 1999 Fleetwood tioga 22ft. Ford E 35 Super duty triton V8 on cab. They told me it was a V8 460. Would easily pull 22ft boat fully loaded.
It is actually a 351. How do I find difference in value of engines and should I be pulling a 22ft boat fully loaded. They've already deducted for telling me it was a yr 2000 and paid towards brake job.
Re: 460 ford engine chris 1-18-05  
I own a 1993 fleetwood and had the some problem, you need to change your fuel filter. it is located on the drivers side frame rail. it requires a special tool that any auto parts store should have.
I keep a spare filter in my motorhome just incase.
here is a little advice never let the fuel get below a 1/4 a tank. the fuel pump is notoris for going out on this motor. by keeping fuel in the tank it keeps the pump from overheating and going out. if your filter keeps stopping up be prepared the replace the fuel pump. I had to replace mine at 42,000 miles on the side of the road.
I now replace the fuel filter every time I change the oil, its cheap insurance.
I hope this is useful to you.

I am thinking of purchasing a 1984 Born Free Class B motorhome with a 460 engine, 56000 miles. What is the tongue weight and would this work??
Re: 460 ford engine ronald blankenship 11-24-07  
It sounds like a heating problem,possibly the computer gets overloaded and won't complete a cycle in the system such as "lean or rich" fuel to your engine.
I have had this problem before and a computer will remedy it.

Re: 460 ford engine Frank 8-21-09  
I have a 89 Ford Tioga 460engine. Recently when attempting to fill the gas tank, gas is constantly overflowing out and the nozzle will continually shut off when fueling even though the tank is not full. This is happening at various gas stations,point, dont think the problem is highpressure volume gas pumps.
Re: 460 ford engine Butch 9-9-09  
Brakes are funky you have to pump them and they still feel like there are very little of them. full of brake fluid. how many quarts of motor oil does this engine take?

Re: 460 ford engine George Collins 7-10-09  
We have a 1986 Born Free with a Dual Tank
Carburetor 460 on a 350. Need to install
an Extra Fuel Pump on the Frame Rail for
each tank. Need a tool to disconnect the
existing fuel lines (quick disconnect?)
What is this tool called? Where can We
find one? The connections have little
plastic protectors, how do you deal with
them?

Thanks,
George
Re: 460 ford engine dan O 7-21-09  
I had the same problem... The ignition module, which should be on the distributor but its behind the battery in the drivers fender well. That module tends to overheat when it's really hot, 90ish... I replaced that part & also installed a fan to help cool it..

Idle is fine, will not rev past 1/4 THROTTLE. no check engine light acts like a governor, will die out on continous revving. changed fuel filter, no effect
Re: 460 ford engine mike young 4-20-09

Re: 460 ford engine George Collins 6-19-09  
Wire from Converter to Battery burned up
melting its insulation and fusing other
wires in bundle. Need to hot wire one (in tank) fuel pump so I can get to mechanic
who just installed two (2) New (in tank)
Fuel Pumps. Should they be responsible?
