Need advice for a swap on a 79 F600 Rollback

Hello All, I found my way here in search of a little help. I have a 79 F600 Rollback which had a 352 in it when i bought it. Well needless to say, after about 30 hauls from the junk yard, the 352 went. Bought a 460 on Ebay, and need to know where i can get the bellhousing to fit it. I need the one with the frame mounts on the bellhousing. I really should have gotten a 390, but this is the engine that was available for the funds i had to spend. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks amillion and have a good day... If i am allowed, My Email is deerjrky@yahoo.com

Look for a bellhousing for a 429 - I know they used heavy-duty 429's at some point in the trucks - my brother transplanted one into a '68 F600... So I know the bellhousing exists

My Motor's manual says they used the 429 in '79
