Is this some sort of truck motor? Never heard of it. 429/460's are Lima motors, And I've seen 370 Limas in Med duty trucks, but not a 462. What family is it? Windsor, Cleveland,Mod,FE,Lima?

They are early lincoln motors, no one makes hp parts for them and you would be hard pressed to find motor mounts and exhaust.

I dont think it work as the 462 heads dont have a combustion chamber ,they are kinda like the 409 chevs, throw it on e bay and then pick up a 429.
