Hey guys and gals! I’m starting the process on doing a 460 swap on my 75 Ranchero GT 351m and was wondering what can be used from the old motor and what I need new? Thanks in advance
Distributor, maybe the accelerator cable and vacuum hoses. Not much swaps from 351M to 460, at least your C6 trans will bolt up. I will say do yourself a favor and FIND some original 460 motor mounts-the complete set.
Crites sells the set so I’ll get those. Now I gotta find the accessorie brackets for the alt and power steering.
If you go the Crites route, just know their mounts change the location of the engine in relation to the chassis. IIRC, they drop the engine 1/4-3/8 of an inch and as you may know with installing headers EVERY 1/16 of an inch counts. Good luck with your swap.
