Is it for the 4 wheel drive in you avatar? If so I don;t know what the differences are. I am surprised nobody else has chimed in yet. I know you need engine stands from 460 equipped truck. A c6 transmission that fits a 460. Just don't know about the 4x4 stuff if that is what you have. Give a little more info. Maybe that will help people to help you

I think i need to sit down and do a detailed write up on putting a 460/c6 into a bump. Seem to be a few of these threads as of late.

putting a 460 in a 2wd is easy. a 4wd is slightly different. but i think yo uwould need the same things. engine mounts and bellhousing to match the engine.

The truck is a 1972 4x4 f100.. The front end is dana 60 leaf spring over axle. The motor currently in the truck is a 400 BB ,tranny is a 4 speed, T-Case is NP205.

Im wanting to replace the 400 BB with a 460 and replace the 4 speed with a C-6 and use the same NP 205 T-Case

Nice looking picture in the small avatar. Is that a 71? Prettiest front end of all in my humble opinion.
That leaves me out as far as any help. I know nothing about the bump 4x4's but wish I did. I would love to have a 71 F100 4x4.
Good luck and I am SURE you will love the 460. Tuned right it will get almost as good economy as a 351w with GOBS more torque
