if i remember right ford didnt make the overdrive(E4OD) for the 460.i think there is a company called overdrive specialist.they make a over drive gear that bolts on to the existing trans in your vehicle.

thanks do you know if there in america or in canada also.And also whould i have to make modifications to my drive shaft

they also make an adapter plate to put bb trans on small blocks and vice versa.might be easier to find a sm blk aod.i'd get it beefed up for the 460 though.
good luck.

The E4OD certainly WAS available with the 460, but you need an EEC to operate it.

E4OD was widely produced throughout the years. It was used alot with the 460, but like he said you need the EEC to operate.. You can probably find the E4OD at a local wreck yard.
