351M has the right setup ideas. the 390 motor mounts work wtih 400 towers if you flip them sides driver-0passenger and vise/versa the cut off the bolt hole corner that doesn't line up but the are better more secure ways of fitting a BB in the 6's old home.

How many of these "70's" trucks with 460's had 4WD?

None.

No 460 4WD's until 1983.
