engine towers,stands, mounts
whatever you call the peice that you bolt the motor mounts to that is bolted to the frame, i need some. i have a 78 f-250 frame, and i am going to put a FE in it. it had a 400 in it so it is obvious that those towers wont work, correct.
can i get any old FE towers out of any 73-76 truck or does it have t be a 250 becuase of frame differences. can i use fe towers out of pre 73 trucks weather they be 1/2 tone or 3/4 ton
all in all i need to know exactly what my options are for a possible donor truck, or exaclty what i need to tell somebody at a junk yard so i dont buy up a lot of parts that i dont need and cant use.
i thought about putting this in the 73-79 forum but it is more FE specific so i placed it here
thanks in advance.

My '69 is a 250, and they're different than the '72 150...only in height from the crossmembers though, which are different cause the 250 is 2wd, the 150 is 4wd. If I remember correctly though, the 250 4wd's were leaf sprung in the front and the 150 is coil sprung, so they may also have differing crossmembers. Basically I'd look for a 4wd F250 that had an FE in it and then there's no guesswork.
