Are all engine perches the same?

I have a 78 F150 4x4 with a tired 351. I've been thingking about swapping my rebuilt 300 into this truck. I have engine perches from a 79 F100 2wd that had a 300. Will 2wd perches work in a 4x4 frame?

Cool

There was a thread by some one doing this same swap in the engine swap forum. Search there and it will tell you that it can work but it involves switching the 351 towers from one side to the other.

it shoulnt be too hard to find 300 4x4 perches.

I thought they were pretty close if not the same.

Thanks! I'll look through the engine swap list and check my existing perches.
