I love my 77 LTD with it's 351m, but after a complete rebuild and more miles than I (or it) can count - it's time for a new engine. Does the 351 swap with a 429? I've got a guy willing to let a rebuilt 429 with still-in-the-box Edelbrock intake go for $800.

The current exhaust, as with the body, etc. isn't in top form anyhow, so that doesn't bother me. My wife LOVES this old ghetto-yacht, and wants it running again ASAP.
What modifications can I expect to make in order to make this swap work? New exhaust / headers? Engine mounts? Any major changes in power steering pump, a/c compressor, brakes, etc?
