460 and C-6
Well it looks like I will be getting my 460 and C-6 from a fellow list member, better then that I will be getting the whole truck. It is a 77 F250 2x4.
1. What do I need to do to this motor to make it ""pull!!!!""" my 15,000 lb 5th wheel trailer? I mean down low, 70 mph on the interstate, up the mountains etc.. I want my cake and to eat it too.
2. So it looks like I will be swapping the rear axle into my 77 F150. What concerns or problems will I have with this swap?
3. How hard would it be to change the front ends on my 77 F150 to this 77 F250? Pros and cons?
TIA
PS.. I received many responses, including this one to my paid classified ad I placed with FTE. I feel that there isn't a better bunch of people out there then FTE's list people. I would rather pay a couple bucks and place an ad here and get good responses from great people then place it in some paper or web site where I don't know anyone and could get god knows what.

That 460 will pull. My dad has a '90 F-250 with a 460 EFI E40D that my grandpa used to pull his 34' 5th wheel camper with. He never had any problems with it even though everything was stock.

I'm thinkin 4:11 gear with that much load and a wad of bills for the gas pump. 650/750 Holley. (or F.I.). Headers are good but can generate a lot of heat under the hood. Easy on the cam specs.
