The largest-displacement 385 engine, the 460 was developed as the successor for the 462 [[Ford MEL engine|MEL V8]] and the 390 [[Ford FE engine|FE]]/FT V8. It shared a 4.36-inch bore with the 429 but the 460 was designed with a 3.85-inch stroke. For 1968, it was introduced in the [[Lincoln Continental Mark III|Continental Mark III]] and availability was exclusive to Lincolns until 1971. In 1972, the engine was introduced for the Mercury Marquis and Colony Park. For 1973, the 460 was added to Ford full-size cars, Ford and Mercury intermediates, and Ford F-Series trucks. In 1975, it later became available on Econoline vans.

From 1968 to 1971, the 460 was rated at 365 gross hp. In 1972 [[Horsepower#SAE net power|SAE net horsepower]], which accounted for real world power losses created by engine accessories and the exhaust system, was adopted as a standard in North America, resulting in a significant decrease in horsepower ratings of all engines. In addition, a reduction in the 460 compression ratio (to 8.5:1) and modification of camshaft timing to allow the engine to comply with Federally mandated exhaust emissions standards, caused the rated output to plunge to {{cvt|212|hp|kW|0}}; output continued to change nearly annually thereafter to improve fuel economy and emissions performance in line with increasingly stringent Federal requirements, dropping as low as {{cvt|197|hp|kW|0}} in 1977.

As Ford began to respond to the implementation of CAFE during the late 1970s, the 460 V8 (previously standard in Lincolns and full-size Mercury lines) became an option, with the 400 V8 ([[Ford 335 engine#400|335-series]]) becoming the standard V8 engine; after 1976, the engine was removed from intermediate-sized cars entirely. Coinciding with their eventual downsizing, full-sized Ford and Lincoln-Mercury cars (including the [[Lincoln Continental Mark V|Continental Mark V]]) last used the 460 for the 1978 model year.

From 1980 to 1982, the 460 was exclusive to the Econoline 350 van, as the 400 V8 became the largest engine for F-Series trucks. For 1983, the 460 returned to the F-Series, replacing the 400. For 1988, the 460 received fuel injection and power jumped to {{cvt|235|hp|kW|0}} at 4100&nbsp;rpm and {{cvt|395|lbft|Nm|0}} at 2200&nbsp;rpm. The 460, now marketed in metric as 7.5&nbsp;L, continued mostly unchanged until 1994 when some minor ECU and compression ratio changes brought another 10&nbsp;hp and 15&nbsp;lb·ft, raising output to {{cvt|245|hp|kW|0}} at 4100&nbsp;rpm and {{cvt|410|lbft|Nm|0}} at 2200&nbsp;rpm for the last three years of production.

Through its fitment on chassis-cab versions of the F-Series and cutaway cab configurations of the E-Series, the 460 saw many applications of commercial use; other applications include recreational vehicles/RVs and bus use. As a [[crate engine]], the 460 was produced by Ford Motorsports through 1997.{{Citation needed|date=January 2020}} After the 1997 model year, the 460 was replaced by the 6.8&nbsp;L V10.

From 1973 to 1978, Ford offered two versions of the 460 police engine: a lower-output 210 hp 460 Police Cruiser, identified by engine code "A" in the installed vehicle's vehicle identification number (VIN) and the engine's valve cover spec sticker, and the higher-output 460 Police Interceptor, designated "C".<ref name="460ford.com"/>  The cruiser came with a slightly modified passenger car 460 and was recommended for city and suburban use, while the more powerful, high speed modified 460 PI was built for highway patrol. 

* 460 "A": a basic, street/production stock flowing engine with additional cooling bolt-ons and a block-mounted non-electric fuel pump. 
* 460 "C": featured a higher lift camshaft and better flowing heads (D2OE-AB) or (D3OE-AA, AB) and exhaust system, along with a high flow, in-tank electric fuel pump, as the stock, block-mounted, cam-driven vacuum lift fuel pump would starve the motor for fuel above {{cvt|100|mph}}. The 460 Interceptor was capable of producing speeds in excess of {{cvt|133|mph}} when installed in certain vehicles.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}
