If it's fuel injected you'll need to either need to convert it back to carb, or wire up the truck to run the EFI engine.

The engine stands can be found in the later model dentside trucks.

Hunter Nelson Welcome to and the Bumpside Forum.

Fitment wise pretty direct as noted by 351, bell needs to be the flat top 7.5" bolt hole spread.

You have to use the transmission that comes with a 460 if it's an automatic (C6). If you put the short tail shaft on it you can use the original trans mount, cross member and drive shaft. I did that swap in about 1980 and am still driving the truck.

My 69 has a 360 & is a 3 on the tree, can I swap 360 out for a 460 but keep the 3 on the tree?
