The mounts will be ok, but you know you can't bolt up to the tranny, right? The bell pattern is different, and the radiator is too small.

i did the swap this morning and i had to move the motor mounts back and the 3 speed tranny mounted right up to the bell housing. The 360 had originally had a T-18 4speed on it.

Not positive on this, but aren't the inlet/outlet holes on opposite sides from an FE radiator?
I stripped a 300-6 4spd 68 F100 a couple years ago, and it seems to me that this was the case (wanted to snag the radiator for my `69 but it was backwards)

`69 F100 390 4spd 300K+ miles and still rollin'!!

Everything lined up??? when I put my 360 in where the 240 was I had to use different frame horns because the 240's were a whole different shape it seems like 1" forward or so than the FE's and they were already in the "back" position

the radiator was different, but the motor mounts just had to be un-bolted and moved back to the holes that were pre-drilled. the truck was a 72 and the engine came out of a 76
