Check e-bay. There are always manifolds on there and I have saw alot of motor mounts on there for 2-wheel drives with 460's. 3/4 ton mounts will also work. Do a search for 460 in e-bay motors.

Check out L&L products, they have everything you want to put a 429/460 in a truck.

I may have what you need, if the exhaust manifolds from a 70 t-bird will work, they are already off, and the manifolds from my 77 F-150 2wd should be coming off within a week or two at most,(replacing the engine) if the 70's will not work. So if you need them, let me know and we will figure out how to get them to you. dan

Enging Mounts 429 and 460 interchange. (altho there is the old trick of rotating a set of 390 Mounts 45 degrees and using only 2 bolts into the block ****NOT RECOMENDED***)

Exhuast: If its a 2wd, you should have no problems getting headers for it at a reasonable price. If you really just have to have the manifolds, try to use truck manifolds if at all possible, otherwise you will have to notch the right frame rail if you use car manifolds. Van manifolds will also work.

http://www.lmctruck.com/ has free catalogs with most anything you will need for your truck, including new manifolds if you want. Altho the EGR manifolds are pretty salty!!

Breeze, you dont have to rotate 45 degrees and use only two bolts. Get a set of mounts for a 390 in a '66 Ranchero, slot the holes(all three) and elongate the holes in your mount stands. This works great, and sets the motor about 4 inches lower than custom or L&L mounts. They also cushion the tourque better than solid mounts.

Just my $.02.

Also, IMHO, L&L is overated and overpriced. Hooker makes better headers(as do Hedman, and others), and oil pans are cheaper through FRPP. Okay, I'm done ranting now.

Actually the days of playing with the FE mounts are long over, I bought the proper conversion mounts I guess about 10 yrs ago (still running the ones I bought), and have had no problem with them since
