Question i6 to 351w swap problem???

i built a 351w to put in my 88 f250 but i have a problem, the oil pump and pan are a front sump, so the pan hits the crossmember my mounts are on. i know i will need new towers for the mounts but where can i get them? i cant find them online or in parts stores. and also would i be able to fit it in there with the front sump oil pan? it would really be helpful if someone has already done this thanks.

You need a rear sump oilpan and pickup for the motor and also V8 engine towers which you're probably going to have to salvage from the junkyard since this is a frame component that would not normally be changed so it's not going to be available at a regular parts store.
