I think you are on the right track. A '78-'79 F-series C-6 should suit your needs. They will have the correct shift and downshift arms as well as the bosses for the NSS.
Make sure the one you get is for the correct engine family. C-6 transmissions don't have interchangeable bell housings.



Good luck

As long as it's a 351M you should be good to go.

When you swap in the 460 be sure to check the diameter of the snout (pilot) on the torque converter. 351M-400 and 460 typically have different size snouts.

Sounds like you have things under control.
