71 was pre unleaded,however some mfgs were already preparing for the unleaded fuel by lowering compression,changing tuning and installing hardened valves/seats,Unsure of just when Ford began.He needs to check the specs on his particular engine to determine compression ratio.General rule of thumb used to be that a carburated engine below 8.5:1 would handle unleaded fuel though premium fuel/timing adj may be required to minimize pinging.If going"in depth" on his restoration such as rebuilding the engine,hardened valves/seat could be installed or possibly newer cylinder heads as the 460 was around for many years.Also the additives available are not tetraethyl lead but a mix of other chemicals to modify the fuel detonation and slow valve damage(with questionable results) and the"better" ones will add 15-20$ to the cost of a tank of fuel.Wouldn't take many fillups to pay for a valve job to run UL safely.
