Engine Swap
I have an 83 f 150 pickup with a 302 in it. It's an automatic and runs just fine but I am interested in building a 460. Can a 460 fit in to this truck and if so what other issues will arise from this?

Thanks

The 460 will fit but you would need a new trans ,motor mounts, Y pipe or headers and maybe some other stuff.

Oh and a flywheel/flex plate for the 460

As for the trans mount it matters what trans you use.
