electronic ignition system conversion 460

I have a 68 460 lincoln engine in my 74 F250 4x4. Could someone guide me on what would be the best avenue to convert to an electronic ignition. I have been told that other late 70's and early 80's ford engines have an ignition that would work. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Tim

I put a 75 T-bird 460 in my 86 F-150, used all the trucks original ignition system and it runs fine off of it.

basically you could pull the ignition out of a late 70s ford truck with say a 351m/400 including dist since it uses the same dist as a 460, and will drop right in, and get teh ingnition box, and personally I would grab as much of the wiring harness as i could.
