Default 460 engine swap

ive been thinking about this for a while now
i have a 2000 f150 4x4 and
im tired of the 4.6 and auto i have now
im getting a complete 1992 f250 4x4 with 460/5 speed for 300 bucks
runs and drives good just needs a throwout bearing
fuel injected and it has the same transfer case mine has
any thoughts on this?
wiring diagrams for the 460 maybe?

If 460 has the ZF transmission it will be a struggle getting it to fit in the transmission tunnel. 230 hp and 390 lbs/feet are nice numbers. Your gas mileage will suck. Sell the 250 for the price of a 5.4 and the swap will be a piece of cake.
