The stock frame towers will work. You will need motor mounts for the swap. Check here [link:www.performanceunlimited.com/customproducts/enginemount.html| Engine Mounts] You will also need a rear sump oil pan, pick up tube and oil pump. I used the front sump pan when I installed the 460 in my 79 4x4, but my truck is lifted 4". The rear sump is needed to clear the front diff. You can get a rear sump pan from L&L, Performance Unlimited, junkyard(from a newer truck or van) or from Ford. Either truck manifolds or headers, IMHO L&L's are the best headers for the application. Check here [link:www.landlproducts.com/ultraflowBronco.htm|Headers] for the headers.
