Requesting help with '60 F100 engine swap
Greetings.
I've got an F100 panel van that I'd like to pick the brain trust on. Currently it has the anemic 223 c.i. engine and want to install an FE engine. (332, 352, 390, etc.) RockAuto shows that the 332 was an option for that year, and I'd like to use mostly factory parts when it comes to the motor mounts. This vehicle will not be a drag queen, mainly just a street cruiser, so factory parts will do just fine. I'm not exactly sure what transmission will go into this, but the transmission mount I can fabricate myself.
Before I hit the bone yards, could anybody tell me how many years up or down could I pick motor mount parts from? TIA.

Okay then, are there any later F100 pickups that have the same FE motor mounts or FE motor mount crossmembers that would essentially bolt right in?

1958: 332 FE* introduced in Ford Passenger Cars/Ranchero's, used thru 1960 (except Ranchero). Also installed in 1959/60 Edsels.
332 Lincoln derived Y block introduced in 1956, used thru 1963 in B/C/F700/750/800.
Here's a couple more.
Two different 302's, one was a companion to the 332 Lincoln derived Y block.
The other was introduced in 1968 Ford/Merc Passenger Cars, 1969 F100 & Bronco, used thru 1996 in myriad FoMoCo vehicles.
Two different 361's. One was an FE that was only installed in 1958 Edsel Pacer/Corsair (it was a slight overbore of the 352). The other is an FT engine, installed in 1964/78 500/750 series trucks.
*FE: 332/352/360/361/390/406/410/427/428.

Main point is that the FE design engine wasn't installed in pickups until 1965, and pickups never used the Lincoln derived engines.
FT engines were never used in pickup truck applications, and were, I believe, introduced in about 1965, after the 292 Y block was discontinued, for F500 and larger trucks. There were possibly some UHaul F350 applications where the FT may have been used in the later 1970s, but that may have been an "industrial" FE.

1973/78 F350's made exclusively for U-Haul came with the 330 2V Medium Duty FT engine.
