'86 Bronco Engine swap

We are planning to replace my dad's 300 I-6 in his Bronco, with a '73 351 windsor. Will we have to change (or modify) the mount towers?

When I swapped from a 300 to a 351 on mine, I had to get the engine mounts for it. They bolted right up to the frame on mine, and fit perfectly. But that was an 81 truck with an 86 engine. I'm not sure if the 73 mounts are different thant the 80's though.
