It will bolt up if you get a 460 bellhousing. You will need the 460 flywheel, clutch, etc., but you can use the tranny.
You will also need to go to the junkyard and get the v8 frame perches for the engine mounts. The 6 cyl trucks have different perches.
You might also have oil filter clearance problems. The 460 trucks have a different crossmember that helps the filter clearance, but you can run a remote setup if you have to.
