The 460 bellhousing is common ONLY to the 429, the 351M [NOT the 351W or 351C] and the 400M engines. So unless your F350 has one of these engines--quite unlikely from the factory--you're going to have to also figure in a transmission swap [or a bellhousing swap, if the truck has a manual tranny...as well as chasing down a 460 flywheel.].

This doesn't even include the fuel injection system...standard in '90 Ford trucks, but unheard of on a '77 Lincoln. This means that you'll either have to find a way to use the fuel injection's in-tank pump, fuel pressure regulator and tank return line on a carbureted engine, or adapt the 460 to fuel injection from a late-model truck engine [which also means an ECM swap], or else bypass the in-tank pump and use the mechanical pump from the '77 engine. Also, the '77 engine used a Duraspark distributor, while the late-model EFI engines use an electronic, computer-controlled distributor with the TFI module.

Now, I'm NOT saying you shouldn't do the swap: I'm just saying, if you're gonna do it, go into things with your eyes wide open.
