FE Technical Forum / Re: 69 F250 Highboy 460 Engine Swap from FE

All you really need to mount the engine is a set of motor mounts. The L&L ones fit nice but are expensive, there are some other options. Since it's a 4x4 you will obviously need a 460 with a rear sump pan. The several I've done I used a stock 90's F250 4x4 pan and it fit fine. I would recommend the "Dezert Cooler" radiator, but the core support mounting flange for the rad is different and you may not want to go through the effort to swap. The FE rad (all 3 core sizes) will work and most of the time (depending on what year accessory drives you're using on the 460) the rad hoses for a 2wd factory 460 dentside usually work.
Generally a pretty easy swap, but you can make it as complicated as you'd like.
Almost impossible to find, but you can also use the 2wd frame stands off a factory 460 truck to do the conversion.
