F600 Engine Conversion

Hi,
I have an old '66 F-600 farm truck. I am thinking of dropping a 460 engine into it . What are the issues and is this a good idea. Thanks

The modifications necessary are the same as the smaller straight axle trucks.

Add an engine cross-member to pick up the engine and add a 385 series bell housing that fits the transmission you have, probably a clark 5 speed.
