460 swap?

I just recently bought a 86 f250 with a seized 460 in it that has a carburetor on it. The truck also had a working 460 in the bed that also came with it but is tbi. My question is can i just swap motors and be good to go? Or is there something else needed for the tbi to work properly?

See your other post.
I don't know if the heads are different between the 2 motors but if not you can take the intakes off and swap them may need to swap distributor too?
Some who knows more of the 460 will have to post.

If that is a factory multi-port injected 460, the heads are different and the carbed intake will not fit, the heads and all have to be swapped.
