who sells engine towers?
ive googled, and searched forums, and anything else i thought would work, with no info. who sells the engine towers/stands/whatever they are called. and what the proper name? i wanna go from my 300 to a 351 and need small block toweres, i have read they are 1" shorter than the 300 towers. i cant find anywhere that sells them.

I think you will need to look for used ones, i don't know if any body is making them. You can use 351m and 400 , they are the same as the 302 ones. I have a couple of sets but plan to hang on to them for future projects.

thats wild, why would no company make em? they look pretty basic, nothing tough to reproduce with the right machinery. But thanks for the info. guess i gotta run thru some local yards and see wat i can find.

1969/79 F100 302 / 1975/79 F150 302 / 1977/79 F100/350 2WD 351M/400 use the same engine supports (aka towers, stands, perches) =
D7TZ-6028-B (351M/400 2WD right) replaced DOTZ-6028-A (302 right) & D7TZ-6029-B (351M/400 2WD-left replaced DOTZ-6029-A (302 left).
351C = 1970/74 US/Canadian Passenger Cars/Ranchero's only.

There would not be enough demand for that engine change to set up the tooling and like i said in the first post ,look for used ones . Probably more out there under the 351m and 400 than any others.

allaboutcars101, I have engine mounts from a 351 modified that are still in good shape, and if they will work for you, I have a set of towers out of a 1978 Ford Bronco. I see by your profile, that you are from VA. Where abouts? I am from Peterstown, WV. That is right outside of Richcreek, VA.

4WD engine supports bolt to the inner frame rails. These parts cannot be used on a 2WD.
1977/79 351M/400 2WD towers/stands/perches same as 1970/79 F100 302; 1975/79 F150 302.
But 1980/82 351M/400 towers/stands/perches will not work on anything prior to 1980. Neither will any other engine size.
