Does it run now?
A 7.3 diesel truck is going to be worth more, maybe a lot more, than a gas truck.
If it runs, sell or horse trade.
If it doesn't run, find out why and fix. Or sell as a non-runner.
The last thing is to swap in the 460. Too much stuff to change. Otherwise it's a hack job and will never be "right" let alone sellable

You need different frame brackets for the motor mounts
Different bellhousing to mate the 460 to the 4 speed that you already have
You can stare at the diesel radiator and see if you can make it work. But it might be easer to get a 460 radiator. But you still will probably need to retro fit the 460 radiator into the diesel radiator core support.
A little bit of wiring.
A mechanical fuel pump on the engine or a external electric fuel pump.
