Hopefully I can start my 460/C6 swap into my '93 this week.
I have two 460 motors, one than runs from a '70 Lincoln and the other that doesn't run from a '69 Lincoln. I bought the '69 motor mostly because of the complete FEAD on it. It has a short style water pump (there is no crank pulley, the belts ride in the balancer) and the crankshaft mounted power steering pump that I'm thinking about trying to use. The '70 has alternator and power steering brackets on it, but they are from another engine family and the belts don't line up perfectly like I want, but I may be able to get them to work. Another option is to sell the FEAD and timing cover from the '69 (big $$$ from what I've read) and use that money to buy the right brackets for the 460 and use the standard power steering pump.
I brought my C6 to the transmission shop and he emptied the case for me. It's a lot easier lifting an empty case into place for the mock up than a full one, especially since I may need to do it several times.
The plan is to get the motor mounts done using the empty transmission case, then bring the case back to the transmission shop for him to rebuild it. Then paint the motor and swap a cam in it and throw a Stealth intake on top.
Anyway, here's a few pics of the trans and the '69 motor to look at for no productive reasons whatsoever...
