460 removal for 351W. Any pointers?
I am pulling the 460 from my 1977.5 F250. Replacing with a 351W crate engine. Going to keep the NP205 transfer case and rebuild.
I came to my senses. Was bad decision. Live and you learn. On to the 460 upgrades!

Auto, can see the trans dipstick in the picture.
What is the reason for changing engines? Friend had a 79 460, C-6 2wd. Didn't like the gas mileage. Went to a 351W about the same gas mileage. Now to a 302, still about the same gas mileage.

I ran into this with my 74. The 390 geared the way it is gets me 8.5mpg dropped out of an airplane or towing a house. Nothing I do is going to fix that for the long run. I just drive it while my wallet chews a hole in my ***. My econ driver is a Goldwing that gets 42 mpg. Is what it is.
