heater blower

Usually the trucks that do not have the big blower assembly, also do not have A/C. The bigger unit holds the evaporator and heater core in the A/C equipt trucks, the heater core in the non-A/C is inside the heater box under the dash.

I am not sure on the oil pan, I know that the 2 wheel drives will not enterchange.

You may have to change to the factory heater only setup since you have a 460 with tall covers. Converting is a bear from what I have heard.

What year 460? You can always get the shorter valve covers if it's a problem. The oilpan will depend on the motor you are getting, gotta run the numbers
