460 into 73 390 F350 Super Camper Special question

Hello, I own a 73 F350 Super Camper Special that originally had a 390 and I Am swapping in a 460 from a 76 Econoline Chgateau Van. The 460 and C6 from the Van were completely built for Towing a race trailer and have 5 K miles on the set.What all do I have to change and whats the easiest way to do the swap. Here is what I know is this correct so far. 1.) I need to swap oil pans to a 2wd truck 460 oil pan 2.) relocate the dipstick to the timiming cover 3.) Radiator should be same correct?? I have the desert Rad. 4.) The 460 had Electronic ignition so I have to change the electrical? The old 390 was points-how do I do this? 5.) The engine mount Perches have to be changed to the perches from a 73-77 460 2wd perches and mounts--what all really needs to be done.?? Any help is greatly appreciated. Wayne

Just find you a parts truck with a 460 and you will have everything you need,you might be able to get by with the rear sump pan from the van and the van radiatior might work. Where are you located as a local junkyard had a 77 F150 with a 60 a few weeks ago and the duraspark system is easy to wire up,find a chiltons manual with wiring diagrams and you should be able to wire up the duraspark from the van in the 73.
