All FEs use the same block and motor mounts, including the 360 which was the used in 4x4s from 73-76. Just get a set of those mounts and you should be golden.

1958/64 FE's use a different bolt pattern on the block for the rubber insulators than 1965/76 FE's.

1965 F100/250 352 4WD; 1965/66 F350 352; 1966 F250 352 4WD use the same engine mounting arrangement as 1961/64 F100/700 292.

I used the factory passenger car (galaxie) engine isolators and torched a new hole in the existing frame perch to locate the engine. It was about 1" rearward from the 335 series slot.

Cost - free.
