Looking for 6 cyl engine perches
Anyone changed out motors and still have the old engine perches????? I am in need of a set, even if they are not perfect, as long as they can be made usable. Thanks for any suggestions, ideas, leads advice and help.

The perches are what you will have to cut off your Bronco and weld new ones in for the conversion. They come off the frame and what the motor mounts bolt directly on. If you can remove them without damage, I would be very interested. These perches dont have any value since most people change to a V-8. But I am putting a 6 cyl in a leftover parts Bronco. Let me know. I am already bolting things back together. Thanks

Hey thanks. I have one lead right now on a front section of frame. If it doesnt work out I will be in touch. Then wait patiently for my UPS driver to knock on the door.

do you need any other 6 cyl parts? I just swapped out my 170 for a SEFI 5.0, and I still have the 3 speed and t-case, bell housing, flywheel, radiator, and Dana 30 front endw/4/11's. Drop me a line if you need anything, sorry the torch got a hold of the perches, and the perches lost! Perches can be salvaged, as I salvaged a v-8 set off another frame for my swap.
