There may be a clearance issue with the exhaust manifolds, especially if they are of the center rise type.
Exactly my point.
Keeping in mind that the OP is wanting to know if the OMC 460 engine will work in a Ford F-100 truck, please explain while referencing post #4.
Understand that I'm not nick-picking you.... I'm just trying to understand your post #4.

Understood......... but who would even consider using the OMC 460 marine exhaust in a Ford F-100 pick up truck?rick he is saying marine exhaust won't fit....

The OP is asking if a Marine 460 KC engine can be made to work in a pickup of any kind or year.
He says that he has access to one (an OMC 460 Ford) for cheap, and he's thinking about putting it into 1978 Ford F-100.
If this engine can be made to work in a 1978 F-100, he would not be able to use a Marine center-rise exhaust system!
