1966 F100 Engine Mounts

Help Please...
Putting a Ford 302 in my 1966 F100. I bought the Autofab mounts. They arrived with no direction and I'm not sure if any of the existing holes on the chassis are to be used. Does anyone out there have photos of the mounts installed? Any guidance is greatly appreciated .

Ken Welcome to FTE & the Slicks forum

You got 302 perches for a 66 F100? That is interesting since FE 352 was the only V8 offered in 66.
302s have been installed many times between this series frame rails, so some help will be along shortly.

Perches

Joe
The perches came as a kit from Autofab and they are the parts in question. How where to place in the chassis ?
Many thanks
Ken

Yes, use existing holes, from what I have read about the autofab, they are repros? the forward holes are for Inline 6 and rear holes for V8. What did you pay for those if ya don't mind me askin?

I believe the autofab mounts are 200+ dollars

the look nice and have poly bushings...

i would mount them to your engine and trans and set them in place with the trans mount bolted in and check to see if any of the stock mounting holes line up. If not mark and drill them out.

Resolution

Thanks men...I paid $250 and then had them powder coated. I'm a bit disappointed the holes don't match. Will see what Autofab says on Monday.
