Front axle? Your going with a 4x4 with a 460?!?! Wow... depends a lot on the tires I suppose. But yeah I'd say you'll have to go Dana 60s to hold up to that torque.
What's your overall plan for the project? Do you want a huge truck running 40s with the 460? Or still a streetable truck running like 33s with the 460? Giving the overall plan (even if it's a guess at this point, yeah I've been there, haha) will help people give advice on what you need.

Yeah. Wasn't he running 44s or something with that? That was a cool truck.
Actually he's on this site as well.

Don't think he's very active as his last activity was 4-27-2007. But he does have a 460 in there.

Yea thats the guy. I know he's done a bunch of burn out contests with it, those are always awesome pics. I actually saw another 460 ranger in my area for sale on craiglist, but I think it was bored over to 550 or something crazy.
Edit: Here is the autotrader link for it 460 Ranger

also, be ready to add lifted springs to the front.....a 460 is a HEAVY engine....it will weigh the front of the truck down bad......stock 4.0 springs can handle a 302 because the weight difference between a 4.0 and a 302 is marginal.....the weight difference between a 4.0 and a 460 is HUGE...

Talk to the people who have actually done the swap. It's the only way you'll get accurate infomation.

460 is the best boat anchor ford ever made
pound for pound id do a small block but do what you do, ill give anybody that goes out to the garage and builds something props.
ps i know a guy with a 427 or 429 what ever that big block is in a like 94 explorer on deuce and a half's and tractor tires, ill see if i can get some pics

and a 302 can be more easily swapped into a Ranger.....without all the excessive modifications...
