You can convert the truck over without to much trouble if you know what you're doing but I'm pretty sure you can keep the 460. You need to change the tailshaft on your tranny, bolt a TC on there, move the crossmember to hold it up, shorten the driveshaft or get a driveshaft from the same length truck but a 4x4. The front suspenion i'm not to familiiar with but it can be done.

Primary rig is Green Thunder:
95' F-150 XLT 4x4, 302, 5 spd, MSD 6A, Flowmaster Exhaust, Sunroof, Clear corners w/ Diamond headlights, CD player with 2 10" subs and some 32" BFG Muds .

Thats it for now, saving for a stang. Check out my Gallery for a look-see.
