well, as for the c6 you oughta be able to get one in pretty much anything that came with a 460 in a junk yard. they oughta be cheap, too. if you have a pull apart near you(i dont know if they have those where you live) you can pull one yourself for about 80-100 bucks, and they usually come with a 30 day warranty. as for the motor, PAW sells complete motors. you could also get one from the junkyard and have it rebuilt. good luck, hope this helps

Ford Performance Racing (formerly Ford Motorsport) still sells Crate engine 460s and may even sell a stroked 460.

i bought a new C6 (came with the torque converter) for my 78 bronco about 2 1/2 months ago from Advance for $560 and put in a $125 TCI valve body....i looove it
or you could opt for a TCI transmission for about $900 plus truck freight plus a torque converter
