360 to 351W question. (1977 F150)

I've been reading around and getting some helpful information, but I just want to clarify.

From what I understand, the 360 engine perches will NOT work with my 351W. (Because they sit too high, and are above the crossmember instead of behind it?)

I've read that the 302 perches will work. I have a 2WD parts truck here with a 302 in it. Will I be able to use these in place of the 360 perches to house my 351W?

If not, I have 2 other trucks here with 351M's in them. Will these perches work for my 351W?

The 351 is currently installed in a truck that had a 300-6 in it. The previous owners moved the I6 perches back and dropped a 302 in. I removed that and the 351W bolted up fine...but seems to sit awkwardly.

So be sure I'm getting it right - I'm putting a 351W into a truck that has a 360. I have trucks with 300-6 perches, 302 perches and 351M perches. What do I need to do? :-)

Thanks!
