Default Looking for DT466/530 swap info

I am very interested in doing a DT 466 or 530 swap (along with the donor vehicles transmission) into my 99 Superduty. I have found a little information but no "how to" sites or detailed information.
The information I am interested in is motor/transmission mount fab-ing as well as other swap related information.
The engine I am interested in is the non-electronic engine and Allison transmission.
If anyone has information on this swap I would very much appriciate it.
Thank you.

Thank you guys, I am not really looking for a "kit", just swap information from people who have done it.
Thanks again for responding and for your input.

Thank you for all your input guys, it looks like I am just going to have to do a lot of measuring, cutting, and trial and error to get this accomplished.
Thanks again for all your input.

Sounds like a cool swap idea. You will have to cut the firewall a lot to get everything behind the radiator suppport.

After thinking about this I think a better swap would be a dt360 engine.
