I have a 78 f100 ranger with a 351m/c-6. Have a chance to get a 460 with frame mounts ,wanted to know what must be changed to install this engine?
any cost figures would be helpful

460 upgrade

When we installed mine we had to move the trans. mount back, but I replaced a c-4 302 . I bought new motor mounts made for this engine swap, and we had to cut a hole in crossover for oil drain.I think we moved the frame mounts to other bolt holes.And had new drive shaft made.My motor and trans came fron a Merc.wagon ,went in easier than I thought it would.Had to notch frame for headers to fit in a couple of places.I had a 270something rear gear got 13 mpg on hiway ,now I'm turning it into a ProStreet Truck hope to have it in next years truck show. Good luck with your project, if you have questions e-mail me dwick1234(No Email Addresses In Posts!)
