While I agree with your general comments I take issue with this statement.
I stated 'avoid a massive headache'. IMO is would be a headache for a novice to make this swap and modify an oil pan
Yes, mech1984 is a novice, or else he would not post this question.
As for rear sumps on Fords, yes many Ford engines have rear sumps, but the 385 engine family (429, 460) never did, as far as I know.
If they did (and I am not being sarcastic) I would be genuinely interested to know the model and year.
