-> CH> Sean, the 460 really isn't all that heavy. I would guess about 6

-> Wow.... so if I were to swap a 460 in, I probably wouldn't even need

Probably not. Would be like adding a front seat passenger. You could
check the spring listings at the dealer to see if it's the same. Is
your truck a half-ton, or is it larger?

-> That I do know.. 351M/400/429/460 all had the same, though the 460
-> uses the same block as a 429 doesn't it? (I know the 351M and 400
-> share the same everything except rods and crank)
Yep, 429 and 460 are essentially the same engine. Also the 370 truck
engine. Motor mounts are probably different. Will look at a 400
that's at the junkyard, and compare it to the 460 I have. Since
460's did come in trucks, there's a correct mount available.
