Solid motor mounts
Anyone know where I can find solid motor mounts for an 87 F250 with factory 460? All I can find is sold mounts for swapping from a 302 or 351 to a 460. I need mounts with 2 studs on each side. All the swap mounts have one stud on each side and they don't line up. Thanks.

I've never heard of this being an issue. It could always be repaired.

Just add some steel to the factory ones to make them solid. Done it before, works fine.

Yep. Probaby going to make something or swap out the factory perches for small block perches, then run solid conversion mounts.

Says they fit Bronco so swap mounts again. It looks like they would work because they replace the perches bolted to the frame. But at that point I might as well grab 302 / 351 perches to bolt on my truck and use much cheaper conversion mounts like trans dapt. I'm looking for direct bolt in solid mounts for a truck with a factory 460. It appears they do not exist which seems a odd to me.

Swap mounts meaning engine swap. They arent specifically made for replacing the stock motor mounts in a factory 460 truck. It's a whole new set up to work in any truck regardless of the original engine.
