Hello, I have a 1969 f100 stepside that I've been wanting to swap a 351 into. The problem is I've been looking and looking and can't seem to find any engine perches for it! I was wondering if anyone had some spares for sale or knows where I should try looking to find them. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe 302 mounts from 69-79 f100/350 will work.
Thank you!

 

Where have you looked? Have you visited any yards? Correct on years.

Yes I have! There aren't very many around where I live unfortunatly I'm planning on going this weekend as well!

 

If you would've posted this a week earlier I could've pulled some for you at the yards I was at.

 

Oh just my luck! Lol Thanks though! I'm gonna go try and find another yard to check this weekend so hopefully they'll have what I'm lookin for

 

No such thing as a 302 in F250's until 1980, none in any year F350.

Same engine supports (aka towers, stands, perches): 1969/79 F100 302 - 1975/79 F150 302 - 1977/79 F100/350 351M/400 2WD

302's with 4WD not available in F150/250 until 1980. 1976: Last year F100's available with 4WD.

1981: First year 351W available in F150/350 & Bronco. Largest available V8 in 1980/83 F100: 302 2V.

 

Thanks for the information, that's really helpful!

 

Where are you located, you don't have anything in your profile box? Someone close by might know of something.

I live in the Tacoma, Washington area

 

Contact FTE member camperspecial65 (Don, rott_weiler33@yahoo.com), he's retired and lives in Olympia, spends much of his time 'scrounging' dozens of PNW wrecking yards.

 

Hahaha, that's where I was looking for parts too. There's an auto wrecker just a bit West of Olympia. Call him. Just ask if he has a '70s Ford with a 302. There are a few wreckers in Puyallup.

 

Haha okay will do! Thank ya!

I have a question unrelated to this thread but I can seem to find the way to send a private message to NumberDummy.. (Doesn't that make me the dummy?). I have a '71 Ranger into which I have put what I believe to be something in the area of an '81 351W. My issue is transferring the 302 carb from the old motor to the intake manifold in on the 351W...
