Engine perches...yes i looked !

Hi I have a 1985 F250 4 x 4 with 300-6
I I'm thinking about putting a 351 Windsor in.
I think the engine perches Mount on top of the crossmember for the 351 ?
And could I just leave the 300 perches where they are or would they interfere with exhaust manifolds ?
Ty !

Gary did a write up on them IIRC and I want to say they share holes but even if they don't the 300 mounts only bolt on so why not un-bolt and remove?
I removed mine when I painted the frame and also removed them from a frame I gave away, he had a v8 truck with bad frame, in case I needed them for another project.
I just checked Gary's site and he does not have that area running yet.
Have you done a search on here for this? It may also be a sticky at the top?

edit sorry you did say you looked my bad

Well there you go and just unbolt the 300 mounts it's not that hard in doing this swap.

Kind of on this topic but what about 460’s. Anything special needs to convert a 300, 302, 351 or 400 truck to a 460?
