I am not sure about the "mounts" for the 300 to 302 swap you want to do. I am assuming that you mean the perches that attach to the frame rails. I just did a swap last summer and put a 360 in my 69 F100 in place of the 240 (same block as the 300). In my case the perches had to be moved to the rear position. It did not require anything other than unbolting them from their fron postion and moving then back about 2 or 3 inches. The holes were already there. My only problem was the rust on the bolts required the application of the ever pesent heat wench to cut them off. I think that in most cases Ford to Ford swaps are pretty easy.

There's no welding involved with your engine swap. You just need to get your hands on a pair of 302 engine perches and it will bolt right in. I've got a set in a truck I'm stripping down...but I probably won't have them out for a couple weeks, due to other obligations. If you're interested, e-mail my username at Yahoo.com.

Are you sure this is right? because when I swapped the 240 for a 360 on my 68 I had a set of the FE mounts and the straight six mounts and side by side they are different, when swapped out they bolted into the same spot as the 240, but everything lined up correctly afterward and didn't with the 240 stuff

I think he meant Step-down tranformer

Transducer is the vacuum/electric cruise control determining switch

I just compared the 240 perches from a '67 with the 360 perches from a '68, and they are identical. As noted, they mount in different sets of frame holes, but other than that, there's no difference. The 302 perches are completely different, however.

What do you have in it now?
The only "M" motors I know of are the 351M and 400
You will probably have to change frame mounts, move the tranny crossmember, and get a different driveshaft.
I'm pretty sure the motors came in the later 70's trucks, 77 and later I think.
