Look up L&L products out of Texas. they sell 460 conversion kits for the F-series 4x4. you'll need new frame mounts and people on this board have said the headers, though pricey, are well worth it.Good luck

Man rebuild the 390 and forget that nasty ol 460 gas guzzler boat anchor. The 390 is an excellent engine and it'll already fit.
