There is not a four hole mount. The block has both the early(pre'65) and late bolt mount patterns. I think all '66 and later used the same mounts-they are specific side to side.

I thought that 4 bolt mount meant that
the block was a FT block and not a FE
block. Or perhaps the FT 4 bolt mounting
system was something besides the 2-2
system under discussion. This is kind of
important to me as I started a new engine
project [just block cleaned so far] with what
I thought was a FE and I noticed the
4 mounting holes. In hindsight, they
are all tapped holes but do not look like
any 4 bolt mounting system I have
seen before..so maybe it is the 2 and 2
system.

There was a thread on this awhile ago
concerning difficulty of fit, or mounting bolt
line up on installation. I will see if I can
locate it.

..I found a thread on 360 to 460 engine swap
discusses motor mounts or "perches" and refers
to a supplier www.Landlproducts.com. I guess
they are called L and L products. Hope this helps!

The FT does use 4 bolt mounts, but not sure if they will line up with the FE block. Ford changed the mount pattern in '65 instead of '66 like I stated earlier.
