351W to 460 conversion
1993 Ford F-250 5.8l E40D
Alrighty so I fully understand that a conversion of this nature includes a new bellhousing, transmission. I just have a few questions. (honestly originally was considering a 390 swap however from what I understand it would be the same amount/more work).
Will I my current frame beam that runs under the transmission work for the 460 E40D? Will I have to install larger engine mounts? Is the driveshaft length the same? Will I need a different ECU? Etc.
Thanks to any who can help in advanced

You can use the existing small block perches by buying 302/351 to 460 mounts sold by places like Bronco Graveyard. Otherwise you need the perches off a 460 truck. Yes the engine crossmember is different and you’ll need to use a remote oil filter or notch your existing one as said above. Keep in mind that notch you need to make is large.
What transmission do you currently have and what will be replacing it? That will determine if you can use your existing driveshaft/s and tranny crossmember.
