I am planning to install a 1975 Rebuilt Lincoln 460 in a 1978 Ford LTD. I also have a rebuilt C6 transmission attached to the 460 cu in. The 78 LTD has the original 351M with low mileage. I found a 460 mild street rod engine to put into it's place . I would like to keep my 351M pretty much original and store it aside. My question to all you 460 experts is...... "What do I need to do to my 1978 Ford LTD to go from a 351M to a 460cu in ? What parts or pieces are interchangeable and what do I need to buy to make it fit? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!! Cool

You can use the tranny thats already in the car and you'll just need the motor mounts from a 460 Lincoln or a 72-76 Tbird. You might also need to do something about your throttle cable, but you can always get a bracket from jegs or summit.
