engine 351 to a 460 change.
hey fellas,
i was just offered a 460 engine today from a fellow FTE'R. so i have a few questionsl.
if i get this will the old tranny from my 351 bolt up to the 460? {the old tranny is the NP~ manny tranny}
will the new 460 drop in without changing much? and what would i have to beef up for the truck to handle this extra power?
any additional info would be great!!!
thanks for all and any help
Mitch

I assume that is a 351 "M" engine. The bolt pattern should be the same. You'll need engine mounts and towers, exhaust manifold/headers, clutch... though. L&L has engine mount kits, HD clutches, etc. You name it.
What year engine did you get? Any mods?

If you can find a truck that has a 460 in it, it would be alot easier. It would already have the right exhaust manifolds, you can use the motor mounts off the truck, the only thing you'll have to buy is the stuff for the manual tranny, like the flywheel and stuff.
