Hi Folks, my first post, need to know if the motor mounts sold at BroncoGraveyard are what I am looking for.
I have a 1978 F250 Crew Shorty 4x4 I am restoring, someone swapped a nice running 460 into it. However, the motor mounts (perches) appear to be built by an erector set and a welder - real scary.
I believe this had a 351/400M in it, probably didn't come any other way. It has a reinforced frame parts for a plow setup on it, right where the perches bolt. The mounts on the motor, to me, look stuck. They sat right on the perches, and a long bolt with a cotter pin held them there.
Looking at a 1979 F350 I have with a 400M, it looks like I need factor perches to match the frame, then use the conversion mounts sold at BroncoGraveyard to finish the job. I also need a Luk clutch for this project.
Thanks for any pre-purchase advice.
