That's only 2 pieces of the needed 6.

I would look for the whole set to purchase instead.

As mil1ion said they are missing the part that bolts on the engine. They will fit 2wd only. You will have to buy aftermarket mounts for 460 in a 4wd.

Actually, I'm pretty sure the towers,mounts,insulators are the same on the 429/460 <> 2x4 & 4x4.

The difference is the rear sump pan,oil-pickup, and power steering brackets.

I just wouldn't buy 1/3 of the system I need than wonder when I will find the rest.
It should be eaier to find the whole set.

A 460 was not factory installed in a 4x4 until 83. You will need to use 351m/400 4x4 frame brackets similar to the ones in the attached picture with aftermarket mounts.
