Does anyone know what I will need to swap a 223 to a 292 y block in my 59 ford thanks in advance
You will need 6028 bracket for a V8, because the 223 is different. Front cross member (5020) is also different, you may need to modify it to bolt the bracket on.

Reason: New pictures...
What brackets are those they don’t look like mine for the straight 6

6A061 & 6068 rubber insulators are the same 223/292.
My 59 F100 originally came with a 223, however it was swapped out for a 413 Chrysler at some point before I picked it up. Essentially you will need a front engine mount like the one pictured below. You will also need a V8 bellhousing to suit your gear box currently installed. Do you have a 4 speed box on the floor? Order new engine mounts & mount bolts all round too!
Ok thanks for the help any idea where I can find that bracket
before I swap my motor I’m gonna see if my 223 will run I guess I didn’t mention that the 223 in my 59 has 34,000 original miles the door has the sticker for the last oil change which if I remember was June of 75 and the mileage on that was 32,000 miles and the last tag was 75 on the truck so I’m pretty confident my motor is low mileage I mean the odometer says exact 34,001

Do not believe the miles shown on the odometer, as it reads to 99999.9 then returns to ZERO!
