460 and C-6 5th wheel puller
Well it looks like I will be getting my 460 and C-6 from a fellow list member, better then that I will be getting the whole truck. It is a 77 F250 2x4.
1. What do I need to do to this motor and C-6 to make it ""pull!!!!""" my 15,000 lb 5th wheel trailer? I mean down low, 70 mph on the interstate, up the mountains etc.. I want my cake and to eat it too.
2. So it looks like I will be swapping the rear axle into my 77 F150. What concerns or problems will I have with this swap?
TIA

With an F350, 460 and a C6, you should have no problem pulling a 5th wheel, so long as you keep within tow ratings, should be a sticker on the door jam. As long everything is in good condition, I wouldn't hesitate to use this combo. I would possibly use a big ATF cooler and use fresh fluids.
Like the other guy said, stopping is the fun part. Make sure your brakes are excellent and make sure you have good trailer brakes and tow gear.
Good Luck,
