Engine mounts for 460 swap:

My 79 F250 Supercab 4x4 currently has a 400 with C6. I am going to swap in a 460 during the Christmas holiday. I was going to buy the L&L mounts, but heard that you can use a set of mounts off a late 60's early 70's passenger car with a 390. I heard all you have to do is slot the holes on the mounts and they'll bolt right up to the block.

Is this true? If so, what do I ask for at the parts store in regards to car model & engine?

There seems to be a lot of people here who think the L&L mounts are the way to go.
I personally,just got the 429/460 mounts off a donor truck.

I also haven't heard about these car mounts working in a truck.

I say to solve both your problems go to the wrecker and get the parts from a door truck.
You can't normally get dealer parts at a regular car parts store.
Mounts and brackets are * Dealer parts.*

So what you are saying is that if I order Motor mounts for a 460 for 78 F250, then I can use it to tranplant a 460 in my 78 F250 with 400 and C6?

That may work if you have a 2wd drive. But in 78 & 79 460s was not a stock option. So therefore stock motormounts for that year for a 460 are probably not available.

I guess I'll buy the L&L mounts.
