You might try the forum for the 77-79 trucks.

The 391 has one mount in the front of the motor that is mounted to a cross member .. I am pretty sure the F100 does not have this member so you would have to fabricate or re purpose one from somewhere else

The 391 uses the same block as the 360/390 pickup motors and has provisions for the side mounts. You'll need to get some 360/390 brackets but other than that you should be ok.

What are you doing for a transmission?
