WElcome to FTE!
I would suggest a search for Engine swap in this forum.
Go to the search function on the main page of the message boards.
Type in *460 swap* by Subject and *all posts*> Pick the 80-86 forum and Up they come

crazy4Fords, My son and I did this swap this past spring. Well from a 400 to a 460 anyway. Should be the same thing. We got the factory engine perches that mount to the frame. Then there are factory plates that fasten to the block its self, then your rubber mounts sandwich between these. I got all the stuff for an 83 F-250 4x4 which is the first year they offered the 460 in our body style. Or you could use the aftermarket adapter engine mounts. We used all the accessory brackets and steering pump from the donor vehicle which was a 79 E-250 van. I had my local NAPA make up a custom high pressure steering hose for the steering pump swap. Rear sump oil pan and hardware. You will need truck or van exhaust manifolds also, unless you are using headers. Offset oil filter adapter or remote filter mount, alter your factory throttle cable bracket and your in business.
