1964 390, will it bolt in?
I'v come across a nicely built 1964 390, but I'm thinking those early blocks had only 2 bolt motor mount holes, so does anyone know if it will bolt into a 1974 F100 that now has a 360? thanks Bill

No problem

Just take some 1/4" plate steel, use your old block as a template and drill your holes, done!
