460 swap questions

I've found a very straight early '90's truck (F150?)with a totally wasted EFI 5.0 and an automatic. Just for the sake of curiousity, what am I looking at needing if I wanted to install a '77 460 and C6?

The answer depends on a few things but here goes. Ask again if you need more info. I'll try to help. You will need: tranny, motor mounts, radiator, and some combination of things for hooking all this up. For example, fuel line(s), linkages, exhaust, hoses, ps pump, air cond pump, alternator, etc.. You may also need to change the length of your driveshaft. I swapped a 460/C6 into an 83 F100 that originally had a 300-6 and auto overdrive if you're wondering where I got my info.

Since your're using a late-model truck,with a EFI engine,you must also swap fuel pumps.The EFI system's pump has too much pressure to work properly with a carbed engine.
