Has anyone swapped a 1977 351M with the 4 speed manual (4x4) to a 460? I bought the complete kit from L & L less the oil pan and pump. I have to bolt on the flywheel, pressure plate, and clutch to the 460. I'll drop the tranny and transfer case in the frame first, then drop the engine in. I have the new L&L engine mounts on the 460. I'll use the original engine towers. Then I'll mount the L&L fenderwell headers on. Once my cab in painted, I'll set that on the frame with my bodylift and see how well the inner fenders fit. I assume I'll have to cut them around the headers.

Is anyone familiar with this?

There is a great article on a web page called the "Project Bronco"

see the technical section

It's called: installing a 429/460 the right way

I used the complete L+L kit when I did the 429 swap. You should not have to cut the inner fenderwells with a 3" body lift. Granted this is a leaf spring setup but the headers should clear fine.

Sounds good. That looks so cool!!!

there aint no id spend the big bucks for the hole l&l kit when you can do it all with ford parts

I had to rework the slots in the towers to get mine in. Didn't like the right side header much, crappy welds & it pointed down somewhat.

Thanks for the input... I know by just eye balling it, I'm a little concerned. I should get to it sometime this week.
