Rear sump 460 or 429

Well, I didn't do the rear sump mod when I put my 460 from a Lincoln into my pickup. Consequently, I banged up my oil pan badly enough that I leaked out my oil and believe I have spun a bearing. This is fine because the motor is getting tired anyway.

My question: are there any rear sump 460's or 429's that would be a direct drop in? I have a 1973 F100 Ranger that I have converted to the Duraspark II electronic ignition (thanks to those of you who helped with that). It will be bolted to a C6. Yes, the truck is 4x4. The motor that is currently in it is from a 1975 Lincoln Continental. I really don't want to get crazy with changing motor mounts, headers, etc. If there any such of these animals out there, what years and in what vehicles?

Thanks! Shane

the 80s model 460s from vans, or 4x4s has the rear sump pan, but you can buy the pans, and pickups from ford new still so it's not a big issue. Only other thing is if you switch from a front to rear sump pan you will also need the rear sump oil pump.
Also keep the flexplate with the motor, the 79 and later motors are external balance, the earlier motors are internal so the flexplates are not a direct swap (although they will bolt on, but it will affect the balance adversely)
