351M to 302 engine mounts
High everyone, I have a 79 F150 2 wheel drive that my wife and I use at the local racetrack in the tough truck racing and I want to pull the worn out 351M and replace it with a 302. My question is will the 302 mounts work with the 351M frame perchs or do I need to fabricate something to work. Since this truck is for offroad use only and gets major abuse I am not afraid to modify it but would like to retain the rubber mounts to have some give on the landings. I already have a small block C6 to go with it and I am hoping not to have to modify the driveshaft. Yes my wife really does drive it and gives it all it has but the 351M is worn out and I want to shave some more weight off the frontend too. Thanks in advance Greg NE

351M to 302 engine mounts
Kingfisher, pretty much anything goes. There is even on guy that was using a 2wd blazer and after he couldn't catch my wife in the points race and bent the Chevy's tinfoil frame, he brought it back the next year with a 3/4 ton Ford 2wd frame under the Chevy body and motor 
. Saw that the ford frame with the twin I beams would take just about anything. By the way the year the wife won the points title in the big truck class I was healing up from my accident and wasn't running, now I run a 83 4 by 4 Ranger in the small truck class so we can both race but not against each other- keeps peace in the house 
. This is pretty grass roots racing but we have been having fun for 5 years now. Greg NE
