big block Ford 460

[Warhammer]

I remember reading something about somebody on here having a 460 Ford in their M715 but I can't seem to find a thread on it. Can anyone help steer me in the right direction?
I have an 1986 Ford 460 and a C6 2wd automatic from a motorhome. I plan on using a divorced NP205 and a Chevy dana 60 front axle. The rear axle might be the dually axle from the motorhome. I think it's a dana 60 or 70...need to check that to be sure.

I'd love to read about someone else's use of a big block Ford.

i was sizing up a possible future 460/c6 swap if/when the day come the ol 230 I6 dies. the stock long tail shaft c6 from my f250 2wd has to be swapped with a short tail shaft c6 from the ford ltd/galaxy/lincoln. the 460's like to run pretty warm so the donor trucks (huge) radiator will have to be shoehorned in there too, i dont think the 715's stock radiator will handle it

We are not using a 460 but are using a FE ...which run kind of hot also.
Got a all Alum. Ford 29" race radiator. Had to widen the hole in the grill and make a bar on the bottom of the back grill panel to hold it up but it fit great in between the body mounts up front. Bet we could have gone to 31".
Unit was like 180.00
