Final answer on 460 swap:
O.K., I've read a lot on this forum about swapping in a 460. I will be swapping in my 460 into my 79 F250 Supercab 4x4 (with stock 400 & C6) next week.
I have the L&L motor mounts, rear sump oil pan (and pickup tube, stud, and dipstick), exhaust manifolds from a 460 E-series van, the 4 core HD radiator, the correct torque converter, and the tranny is fine.
I am taking the 460 out of a 78 F150 2 wheel drive with a C6. (it was a transplant...)
My final question is: will the low mount alternator and stock power steering pump with stock mounting bracket fit into my 78 F250 4x4 without modification?

Final answer on 460 swap:
Altenator should be fine. The power steering might be tight but will fit. I wore holes in two pressure lines then changed the mount. On my driverside head I had two threaded holes. One low (original location of pump bracket) and one high. I was able to relocate to the higher one by extending the hole in the bracket and using a washer under the nut and on the back side of the bracket. Also you must weld a piece of flat stock onto the bracket to extend to the lower waterpump mount. This only took about an hour to complete and now I have plenty of room.
If your not the fabricator type L&L now makes a kit to relocate the powersteering pump. I've never seen one in use but usually L&L is right on with there products.
