390 Motor swap
ok so im doing a body and motor swap of a 69 body to a 79 frame... now i know 73-76 these fords had the 360-390s in them. now did they change the towers on the from 1973-79.... im hoping just to use 360-390 motor mounts from 73-76 on the 79 frame. Will this work? sorry if im going in circles didnt really know how to explain it.

If you can find the 360/390 mounts for the 73 to 77 , it will be an easy job. I don't know how hard it is to find towers in your area , but I do see them on E-bay some times. They will bolt in as the frame from 73 to 79 is the same. One thing I never ask was . Is it 2 wheel or 4x4 drive ? I'm talking about 2 wheel so if it's a 4x4 I may be completely wrong.

These are the 79 mounts, my opinion is they should have been moved back about 2 inches. I'll get to that someday.

There aren't any towers (aka stands, perches) with 4WD, because there's no engine crossmember to bolt them to.
4WD engine supports bolt to the inner frame rails / 390's were not available w/4WD / FE engines cancelled at the end of the 1976 model run.
