Im thinking about eventually swapping in a 460 to replace my 360 in my 76 Highboy. How easy is this? Will I run into any known problems? Thanks

Tony, Since the tranny bell is unique to both engines, you will need to plan an engine/tranny swap, engine perches, and maybe the radiator. I suspect the driveshaft length may have to be modified, but not sure.
Some 460s are dogs, so rebuild it first. You could end up with a lessor performing engine without doing so. IMHO
