I need advice
I have a 78 f250 2wd with a 460 in it. Problem is I want a 4x4. So I bought a 78 f150 4x4 with a 351m in it, is got a c6 auto trans. How hard would it be to put my 460 into the f150? Does the bolt pattern on the housing match with the c6? What all do I need? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The trans bolt pattern will match the C6. You will need swap motor mounts, a 4x4 460 oil pan and oil pump pick up tube. Having a doner truck for parts will be nice. Pretty sure you can reuse your exhaust manifolds and belt accessories.

351M and 460 are both BB so the 460 will bolt to the 351M trans. Is your 2wd a standard or auto trans?

Yes you have a front sump oil pan on the 2wd 460 and you really need to swap to a rear sump oil pan with a dip stick in the side of the pan, to clear the front axle properly.
Truck 460 exhaust manifolds should work just fine.
