Engine Swap

I looking to swap in a 460 big block and boat anchor my old tired 302. Are there any things besides motor mounts and engine modual that need swapped?

Yeah, the year of truck would help a lot, but I can already tell you that it ain't gonna be an easy swap! If I were you, I would consider swapping in a 351. There's still some changes to make, but nowhere near as many as with a 460 (ie transmission, engine mounts, drive shaft). I would sell my truck and buy one with a 460 before I'd attempt that swap. Why go through all the trouble?

1980 F150 Shortbox w/C6 tranny. This truck will be done as a hot rod custom. I also plan a drop for it, suicide doors, custom wood floor bed and custom interior with a hand formed dash.

That's why all the trouble.
