Post 1981 engine rebuild

I have a 1981 F-150 with a 400M i would like any ideas on what to put into my engine. I want more power and i am planning on using the 400. The truck will be used mainly for a daily driver but also as an off roader with 33" tires and will do some pullingof a car trailer. I would also like to know if it would be possible or even better to put a 460 in it and how hard it would be and what i would need to change? It has a C-6 in it now and i just rebuilt it and would like to keep that so if a 460 would be adirect bolt in i might consider that, But would also like to know about the 400.
