Engine Swap
I have a 1979 f100 302 2wd and I am wanting to put it on a 1979 4wd frame. The 4wd frame has a 300 i6 and 4 speed trans, the main question is will I need new motor mounts for my 302 to go into the 4wd and will the bell housing from the 300 bolt to a 302? Thank You for looking and helping!!!!!

X2 on the bell housing being the same. Don't forget you'll need to also make sure you have the correct flywheel & clutch parts.
the 4x4 frame has towers that the engine perches on, I'm not sure if they'd be the same for a I6 -sb. If you have time you can try looking different items up on rock auto for instance. Write part numbers down and see what interchanges that way.

1980/96 F150 4WD/Bronco 302 and 1969/77 Bronco 302 engine mounting parts will not work on 1973/79 F series 4WD trucks.
