The 78-79 supports have different bolt hole paterns for the head light buckets. They can be interchanged but drilling is require to make it work.

Also the 6 cylinders have a smaller rediator hole opening than the V8's. Somne guys will cut the opening bigger to use the V8 radiator. BUt once the hole is cut bigger the 6 cylinder rad doesn't have any mountionmg hole to bolt to.

To really get the right fit you need a 6 cylinder radiator support from 73-77.

2WD 302s also used the smaller radiator opening/window.

Good to know, I'm more familiar with the 4x4's, so I tend to think FE's and 351M/400's as V8's

Great site.
