79' 351 to 86

I have a 79 F-250 2wheel with a 351m, Trying to put it in an 86 2wheel that had a 460 in it... Do the towers from the 79 bolt into the 86?? If i have to drill holes for them, how do i know where to set the towers?? Will i be running into anymore problems?? Thanks for any info

79 & 86 towers are different, get a set of 80-96 5.0 or 5.8 towers, then your 351m will drop right in. See the thread below about engine towers.
