302 in a 79 4x4?
Hi All,
What engine mounts will work to put a 302 into my 79 4x4 f-150?
It currently has a 300. It appears as if I were to move the 300 stands back a set of holes in the frame that it may work.
Has anybody done this?

i haven't done this myself but your right if you move the 300 towers back they will fit but you'll have to weld them to the frame instead of bolting them to the frame which i didnt like the idea of

Welcome to FTE
You need to check with you local laws before considering an engine swap. a 2003 model year pickup would be very difficult to find aftermarket parts for. Federal law requires you to maintain a legal operating emissions system.

Going to be using the 300 mounts. Have cut the top flange off and will also be dropping down a tad. Will be welding addtional length to the front so as to use the front bolts as well and again weld a flange over the top.
