confusing 460 swap

[83muder]

So i know this has been covered allot but i have a very complicated swap here. I have an 83 bronco that came with a 351 modified with a 4 speed trans but originally had a 5.0 with an automatic. I now have a 460 to put in it but i dont know which motor mounts i would need. I know i need to change the bell housing but i dont know what would fit to both the motor and trans. The casting # from that motor is D1VE-6015-A2 with D3VE heads. The trans ID is E3TA 7003 VA FE36. Any help is appreciated and sorry if you tired of hearing this so many times but i couldnt really find the answers when i searched for them.

thanks Matt

okay for the 460 you need the ford big block bell housing that fits the 429 and 460, also known as the 383 series engine blocks. if you get the right bell housing for the engine it will bolt up to the manual transmission you already have( look for old tow trucks , or buy a new one from summit racing). if you want to run automatic then you need the whole transmission for the 460.

and these are the motor mounts you need
