300 engine swap question
Swapping in a 300 I6 into a 79 f350 4x4. Original engine was a 351m.
Will the 351 engine perches work or are there different perches for the 6? Are there differences between the 2wd and 4wd perches?

The perches are different for the v8's and the six cylinders but the 300 and 360/390 use the same perches, just in different positions.

Perches are different between the engine families and as well as between 2WD and 4WD.

In most cases a 300 shares the same perches as an FE engine in regards to 2wd and 4wd.
