Help with 292 Installation

I am building a truck back to more of a stock configuration with a 292 (closest thing I could find). Prior owner already removed whatever mounting frame was in the engine bay so I don't have a good idea as to what I need to do to mount engine. I have searched for stock pictures, but can't find pictures or drawings. Does the front of the engine rest on a cross member or do motor mounts attach to the side frame rails?

Any guidance, pictures of stock configuraiton will be very helpful. I suspect that there is a cross member that was cut out.

The front engine mount bolts to the center of the cross member. The rear mount is the side most "ears" of the bell housing resting atop the cross member.
I'll try to find or take a picture of mine.
Edit: Pictures added, not quite as pretty clean as some

Thanks

A picture will be great. I think that this cross member has been cut out of my truck, not sure.

Post #47 should help you on this page https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...oration-4.html The first picture shows the front mount, the last two show the rear mounts. The passenger side mount is in picture #6 behind the black tube, driver side mount is in pic #7 next to the linkage.

The 6 cylinder trucks did NOT come with the additional cross memeber, so if your truck was originally a 6 it never had it. All frames are drilled for it though.

I sent you a PM
