oh, and this is for a 1978 f150. it does not have a 460 in it, it has a 69' 428. so i probably need a new water pump, oil pump, fuel pump, etc. Right?

Does it now have a 428 or a 429 in it.
If you have a 428 and are changing to a 460 you need a different transmission or bell housing.
If you are changing from a 429 it is he same as the 460 and all parts will transfer.

Yes you should be in good shape.
Everything will transfer over from the 429 to a 460.
