• FIND A 460 ENGINE WORTHY OF THE TRANSPLANT SOMETHING FROM THE LATE 60'S TO THE VERY EARLY 70'S.

• IF YOU ARE INSTALLING THIS INTO A 73-76 HIGH BOY 4X4 THEN YOU WILL NEED DIFFERENT TOWERS.

• IF YOU ARE INSTALLING THIS INTO A 75-79 F150 4X4, THEN YOU CAN USE THE EXISTING TOWERS BUT YOU WILL NEED DIFFERENT ENGINE MOUNTS.

• IF YOU ARE INSTALLING THIS INTO A 77 1/2 -79 F250 4X4, YOU CAN USE THE EXISTING TOWERS BUT YOU WILL NEED NEED ENGINE MOUNTS.

• IF YOU HAVE A 360-390 ENGINE THEN YOU WILL HAVE CHANGE OUT THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE BOLT PATTERN IS DIFFERENT, THE SAME WILL APPLY TO THE 351W, AND 351 CLEVELAND ENGINES TOO.

• NOW WE GET TO THE EXHAUST PROBLEM, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND INSTALLING FENDER WELL EXIT HEADERS, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DO NOT KNOW WHAT FENDER WELL EXIT HEADERS ARE! THIS STYLE OF HEADERS EXIT TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE FRAME RAIL INSTEAD OF THE INSIDE OF THE FRAME RAILS THUS KEEPING THE HEAT AND PIPES AWAY FROM THE TRANSMISSION AND TRANSFER CASE. GIVING YOU MORE ROOM TO WORK ON YOUR ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION OR TRANSFER CASE WHEN NEEDED.

• NOW IF YOU JUST CAN'T SEEM TO PART WITH THAT COLD HARD CASH IN YOUR POCKET OR BANK ACCOUNT THEN YOU COULD RUN STOCK EXHAUST MANIFOLDS BUT THEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT A NIGHT MARE TO RUN EXHAUST AND IF YOU EVER NEED TO WORK ON YOUR DRIVE TRAIN GOOD LUCK.

FACTS !
NOW HERE SOME FACTS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GET  GUN OH AND ATTEMPT THIS TRANSPLANT.
 

1. FORD NEVER OFFERED THE 460 C.I.D ENGINE IN THE 4X4 TRUCKS IN THE 70'S

1. FORD ONLY OFFERED THE 460 IN THE 1970'S IN THE 2WD TRUCKS, SUCH AS THE CAMPER SPECIAL, F-150'S, F-250'S. NOW I KNOW WHAT YOUR THINKING HERE ! I CAN USE THE MOTOR MOUNTS AND TOWERS FROM THE 2WD TRUCK IN MY 4WD TRUCK CONVERSION.                                                                           NOT, NOTTA, NO CAN DO, AIN'T GOING TO HAPPEN. BEEN THERE, TRIED IT DIDN'T WORK. I THINK YOU GET MY POINT AT LEAST I HOPE SO.

1. NOW SINCE FORD DID NOT OFFER THE 460 ENGINE IN THE 4WD'S YOU WILL HAVE TO EITHER BREAK DOWN AND BUY THE POWER STEERING SUPPORT BRACKET FROM US OR JURY RIG YOUR OWN SETUP FOR THE 19771/2 TO 1979 F-250 4WD INSTALL DUE TO WHERE THE POWER STEERING BOX IS MOUNTED.

1. NOW YOU CAN HOW EVER USE THE STOCK ALTERNATOR BRACKET

1. YOU CAN USE THE UPPER AND LOWER RADIATOR HOSES FROM THE 2WD TRUCK COOLING SETUP. SO THIS WAY YOU ARE NOT SITTING THERE THINKING HOW DO I KEEP THIS MONSTER BIG BLOCK COOL.
