54 F100 original engine location

I have a 54 F100 that has been outfitted with IFS so none of the original motor mounts or crossmembers exist. I plan to put a 292 back in and figured it made sense to put it in the same place the original engine was.

I checked the link below and couldn't find all the info I needed.

I was hoping you guys could help with some dimensions. I plan to center the engine left-right but need help with the front-back and the up-down measurements. Maybe a dimension from the top of the frame rail to the valley pan and one from the front cab mount to any easily measured point on the engine. If there are easy dimensions, that's fine also. Any help would be great. Thanks.

The motor mounts off the front under the water pump and on the rear with two mounts on each side of the bell housing. On the diagrams in your link it is the big circle in the tab on the front crossmember and the two circles in 2nd cross member.

Do those crossmembers still exist on your truck?

I have the front motor mount and the correct bellhousing with the ears but these crossmembers are gone.
