2) Build new motor mounts and transmission mounts, slide 460 and C-6 in, hook up throttle linkage, starter cable and turn key (again, paraphrased, but you get my point).
I have seen this swap done on quite a few newer F-150's and it seems to work every time. Granted, its not for street use, but they make hella off-road trucks. Especially with the 2 1/2 ton axles that are factory geared at something like 6.13:1. I think it would be fun as hell to do this swap and tear it up in the mud holes.

Did anyone happen to notice there's no contact info for this guy? That's usually a pretty good sign of a scam on Craigslist! As for the specs...too good to be true is exactly that in most cases w/ this site.
