1995 f150 460 help

So I have the 5.0 efi followed with a e4od trans. I am wanting to drop a 460 after I do some work to it, but putting the 460 in.
I have some questions before I put it in.
I've dont the research on what I want to do to the motor but what I'm consirned about is if I should go carb or go efi. If I go carb what computer would I need if any or could I just have it in without a computer.
If I go efi I'd need a computer and I would probably pull the engine and trans from a f250/350 and also pull computer but what else would I need?

I'd like to still have ac and heat if possible.

Also would it be easier to run the e4od or a c6?

I know I'd need motormounts, probably a larger radiator, headers for sure but what else would I need, every time I look I see people do the swap but I don't see enough info on how.

If you have done it please let me know and give me some advice.

Thanks. If you need more info about my truck ask please.

 

to the forum Mason.

If it were me I'd go for a carb setup and C6 deleting the need for
EFI computer and bell housing swap. Transmission support brace, then
the drive shaft and U-joint to rear end pinion yoke match would be the next.


Finding a 460 already in an older truck would be another option.
I see them on auto for sale internet sites as people are getting
away from the less than great fuel mileage on a 460 cid and going
for the more fuel efficient 5.0 / 302's.

I have a 1974 F100 with a 360 2V, it was much easier before 2001
when gasoline was less than $1.20 per gallon to keep fuel in that truck.

 

Well my 302 gets 11 mpg now so I hear the 460 gets around 10 so I'd take the one mpg for more power and torque, I mean I like driving my truck hard
Do you know how challenging the swap is?
I could go to some junkyards and look for a efi or a carbed 460,

I do have f250 springs in the front already so weight shouldn't hurt it,

For the 460 I was thinking, bore .060 over, pistons, I beams, heads port and polished or new heads, and a cam. The intake would depend on efi or carb.

If I do make it carb would I be able to still have ac? I don't know if the engine computer deals with that.

 

Id go carb and C6...C6 is a tough trans if built right....you can still run AC...not sure on computer but you can still have ac the old way....roll em down!!! haha

 

you don't need a computer for AC, and I would go with the C6 and delete the computer.

 

So now my question is would I still have my speedo since it is computer? I see c6 and 460 combos on Craigslist a lot so that would seem easy to drop a motor in an just connect starter, and the lines.

What kind of radiator should I use?

 

On the engine could I use a 1968-78 crank, any 460 block, and dove c heads?

 

Careful some blocks are different. Anything before the 80s will match up but the 1980-90s model 460 has a different bolt pattern for the trans bell housing

 

On a 60-79 model you could use 429 boss heads

 

So I found a pair of dove head on Craigslist for 350, and I see some c6 transmissions for about 275 or I could go to the junkyard, pull a 460 and c6 and rebuild the 460 with dove heads and a balanced crank for 50 bucks on Craigslist. Dove heAds, a crank from a 1968-79 style?
I found some stuff let me know if it will work together, I know the block shown will need work done to it.

-crank
-dove heads
-block, another crank, heads, etc
