Is it possible to retrofit a '70-'71 460 out of a T-bird into an '89 F250 4x4 ?
The truck currently has an EFI 351W that needs a rebuild while the 5 speed is in great shape. I can get an early 460 that runs great & low miles for $150.00. (much cheaper than a rebuild,LOL)
Aside from the obvious parts needed such as EFI heads, intake system, and serpentine belt assy' what else am I forgetting?
I know that the early and late motors are balanced differently. Can this be easily overcome?
What year EFI heads are best to use for decent power?
In addition I want to swap out the 5 speed for a C6. I'm disabled and I think the automatic would be better.
I don't have much late model experience, OTOH, I have lots of experience with the early Ford stuff from the '60's to early 80's (1981)
And last but not least, how much of the harness do I need from a salvage yard for the 351W to 460 swap?
