Waht do I need to get this failing 302 outta my 74 2wd to get a 460 in it?

motor mounts, most likley tranny unless is already has a c-6 or 4speed, maybe drive shaft, radiator maybe, some other odds and ends.

motor mounts??? just as I thought. where can I get them? a junkyard or somewhere online?

Why wouldn't you be needing a tranny if it has either of these two options? The bellhousing bolt pattern between a SBF and a BBF is different unless I'm not aware of something? :confused:

motor mounts, trans with big block bell housing, depending on what the doner motor is from you may need an oil pan, headers or manifolds, front accessory brackets, and a hundred little parts that allways slip my mind. If you plan to use a stick trans you will need the proper flywheel internal or external balance depending on the year of the motor. This swap is very common and I bet if you do a SEARCH on here you will find enough info to make your head spin.

you will need a 460...

did the search, too many 4x4 swaps to sort through. I just wanted to make sure I didn't have to cut up the engine compartment or something that everyone here knows that I just may have missed. thanks though!

Why go BBF, with $4 gas on the horizon.....Pull the 302 and either do a full rebuild or spend the money on a crate motor:

nice 302

its a daily driven project, hopefully it will be a desert truck within a year with a full cage, fiberglass, and nice suspension. A 302 is a nice little motor but a 460 has a lot more potential, plus I want a fairly reliable 350-400 horsepower that is cheap. I can do that with iron heads and stock rotational componants on a 460.

gas prices suck, but I am getting a xr600 or 650 for a street bike, I had a 650l and driving it fast I was getting 40+ miles per gallon, the truck is for hauling bikes to go ride and get me around in the rain.

460? in the rain? :laughing: you will be going around, more than getting around. :flipoff2:

gotta love BBFs

thats always fun too!

I can help you out with original mounts?

I can help you out with original mounts?

that would be great! I've never removed or installed any motor bigger than a volkswagen flat 4 so can you describe what they are or maybe just show me a picture? how much shipped to 91789?

Could you give your email so I can send pix cause I can't figure out how to post pix

get a cardomain.com page and load pictures on there. then copy and paste the url.

Try www.460ford.com this is by far the best site for finding anything to do with the BBF!:) Motors, trannys, parts and all the advice you'll need.
