460-351m swap immediate answers welcome

sorry,,,, searched the forums w/o a clear answer...know i've seen it somewhere-

friend has a f250 4x4 with a bad 460 (MANUAL 4sp).... he has no budget at all....none. I have a rebuilt 351m that was hooked to a c-6.

Will the 460 clutch system that he has work on the M block?

I have motor 400 motor mounts as well. anything I need to be aware of?

thanks for your help again as usual.

watch your flywheel/flexplate weights, some 460's are internal balance and use a neutral fly(no weight). crank bolt patterns are the same AFAIK but there may be different pilot diameters

400 motor mounts won't directly bolt to a 460.
