Superduty (f450) engine swap

I have found my next project. 95 F450 cab & chassis with Marmon 4 wheel drive. The only problem is that has a 460 in it. What else besides engine and transmission ( and electrical components) do I have to do for a change out. Also how good are the rear disk brakes on these units.

I have several OBS Superduties (F450's) and they are prety stout. None of them are 4x4 though. I imagine the parking brake set up on a 4x4 is custom. The wheel brakes are fine, but the parking brake set up on the 2x trucks is the pits. It is expensive, holds verly little oil in the bearing compartment and leaks easily. But it is the only wek link beyond the usual OBS issues .
