Your going to be close to 4000 lbs.
The trucks I used to build ran from 3800 to 4100 depending on how they were powered and suspended.

Curb weight of a 56 F-100 is 3460 pounds (max)

Your 460 with aluminum heads and aluminum intake will weigh within 75 pounds less than the 272 Y-block

The C6 with fluids and cooler will add 100 pounds.

9" no significant difference

Front subframe, add maybe 75 pounds.

So add 100 pounds to the 3460 for a curb weight of approximately 3560.

PS. If you are planning on renting a trailer to haul your 56 and you are planning on getting it from U-haul, be sure to tow it behind a full size truck and tell them you are picking up an 85 Honda Civic.

If you tell them you are picking up a 56 Ford F-100 or don't have a fullsize truck to tow, they won't rent it to you - insurance margins!
