Quick! Engine mount help for 64 ford w/ 292
Hey all...Newbie here 
Putting back together a fairly clean 64 ford f100 (or 150?) w/ a fresh rebuilt and mildly hopped up 292 v8 and 4 speed manual. My question is this:
What does the engine mount look like correctly set up? I didn't take the engine out, and even what was there as far as mounts were badly degraded and unrecognizable.
I THINK I know what it should look like, but if someone has a picture or exploded view/diagram, I'd greatly appreciate it...this has been the ultimate jigsaw puzzle, lol.
tia,
chris

lol...
About the truck: Belongs to a friend who bought it for his son to drive.
Much thought went into what they'd do for an engine as it was clear that when they bought it, it was in need of considerable attention. Pulled the engine to find a few wiped lobes on the cam, bent pushrods, etc...it was basically running on 5 cylinders.
So b/w the 292 and a 351W, it was decided to stick to the Y block as it'd likely be the simplest and have a neat factor hard to match.
The dad enrolled in a local tech college adult ed course on how to rebuild engines in which they did all the machining and assembly themselves. Bored .060 over, resized, straightened rods, line honed, balanced, valve job, the dad did everything himself.
Replaced the stock cam with a nice little upgrade...nothing too wild (218 @ .050 iirc) and headers with a plan to upgrade the ignition in the near future.
Did a whole mess of other things from shocks, brakes, lines...too much really to recall. But it's getting closer to being done where hopefully Dad and Son will be able to fire it off and drive her down the street
