well i called them to see what there kit to go from and 86 f250 with a 351w to a 77 lincoln 460 would cost me. i almost died when they said $1200 bucks. so i will be doing this on my own. ill use the stock lincoln powersteering and alt. not sure how to mate these to the pickup wiring harness(altenator) or steering box(powersteering pump). i already have a rear sump pan and pickup from and 80s 4x4 and a 90* jobbie for the oil filter. also getting the 460 motor stantions for and 80s ford from the same dude and i will just order a set of 80s 460 motor mounts from ford. getting the lincoln tranny tailhousing converted to 4x4 for 90 bucks. i will be throwing a summit cam in the 460 along with a summit double roller timing chain.

am i missing any details?
anyone know how hard it will be to mate the ps pump to the box?
how about the lincoln alt to the ford alt wiring?

Only biggie I can see missing is the larger radiator and ex manifolds/headers. My quickie write-up on my 460 swap-
