460 Big Block

Has anyone ever put a 460 in a 79 f250 2wd, that came originally with a 351m? And if so what problems they encountered: tranny, drivline, rear end, and also motor mount! I was supposed to pick up a 351w and instead got a crate 460 ready to drop in. I want to lower the body minorally and customize it basically as a street rod. The engine will be pushing about 530 h.p. at the most. Any suggestion on the engine though?

Frame mounts for the motor mounts, Headers or truck only manifolds (car manifolds hit the frame), 460 accessory brackets. I did the swap on my 77.

The crate 460 set me back about 6,500. I'm getting it from the engine factory.
