Engine perch pic thread
I have a few sets of engine perches and am trying to help a few fellow Ford nuts with my spare parts. I have tried to locate a source that gives pics and info for the perches and what years they fit. Most of the pics I have found are my own photos. It's no problem to come up with a part# but try finding one on a perch. I've removed the grime and paint off of several and have yet to find one.
I thought it would be a good idea to have a main thread regarding this common problem. 2WD or 4X4 put it here.
I believe these to be FE perches from 73-76 4x4 F250.

Post some pics if you have them...or perhaps someone could confirm the above.

Here is a problem. The set on top(rusty) I took off a "highboy" frame today. You can see someone made a slight mod to get the engine to fit. This chassis did not have an engine when I got it.
Other than the obvious differences all the bolts were intact and in stock position.
The set on the bottom(black) I could have sworn came off a 75 F250 4x4 that I used for parts on my 73. Am I wrong?
Hmmmm????

Sorry I can't be too much of a help, but mine looked more like the first set.
I'm wondering if someone was trying to modify FE perches to fit a 460.
But here is the only picture I have of my old ones right now.
Small pic but has the drive side still attached

Another member sent me a link to a Fordification page which verifies(?) the black set are FE 4x4...the set I took off today..well, i dunno.
Fordification page info is mostly 2wd.

Funny timing for this - I just yesterday deleted pics from my photobucket page of all the parts I've sold. Had a few sets of motor stand/engine mount pics there. I wouldn't have deleted them if I had seen this. Oh well...
Here's the only pics i have left posted as it's from a build thread.

They are not THAT different, but they ARE different.
I can get pics of the 302 mounts as I have them safely tucked away.
Unfortunately I don't have a 2wd to put them in currently so I can't get pics of them on a truck.

so I'm getting closer to being out of space on the photosuckit account. Therefore if someone has some space & wants to host some pics for me let me know & I'll send over a few. I found pics of the 302 perches in the truck and then I took more of them out of the truck.
I also came across some 460 mount pics (we already have some though) and then pics of 4wd FE mounts vs 4wd 351/400m mounts

Here is a pic of that frame section cut apart from a '79 Low Boy. Factory does it a little different. I just weld pieces of thickwall pipe on the inside plate I make up and just let it rest up against the frame, I don't see any reason to weld both sides of the pipes.
