Sure, the pics are somewhat old (2 months or so from when I put it in) but

are located at:
http://cadunkle.kicks-ass.net/pics/Galaxie/460/Install/real/

I've nicened things up a bit since then, but you can get the basic idea
from 
those pics. I'll take some more in the next day or two when the weather 
clears up. Motor is basically put in with a set of FE frame mounts in
place 
of the 302 frame mounts. Elongated/notched the holes to accomodate the
wider 
460 block mount location. Used modified FE motor mounts (just drill an
extra 
hole adn it bolts to the 460 block). Trans crossmember turned around and 
moved back on the stock frame mounts for it, then used some long threaded 
nuts to space it to the Lincoln mount. Shortened driveshaft. Put a 9 inch 
rear under it too.

Things to do... Bend new steel fuel line from fuel pump to carb, make 
something to keep trans mount more solid, find kickdown lever and rod for 
C6, fix ****ft linkage to line up with ****fter (got an adjustable ****ft rod

at Carlisle from maybe an Torino, and my TCI universal ****ft lever arrived

while I was gone), clean and paint brake backing plates (ran out of paint 
and just threw it together with those dirty). I think that's about it... 
Well, other than getting a manual trans (I have clutch pedal setup). The
C6 
will work for now though.
