Default Converting 78-79 F250 to FI

Anyone have any experience on converting a 78-79 F250 to fuel injection ? Best/easiest way to do it? Year engine to use?

I have a 78 with a 351M and was thinking of putting a 460FI in it.

Also.... is there an easy way, such as serial numbers, to tell if a 460 is a 4 bolt or 2 bolt main?

Like bigblue said, Gonna need computer and harnesses also. I think it's all do-able it's just gonna take a little intestinal fortitude.
