FE motor mounts

I currently have a stock 72 F250 with a 390/C6. I had intended to replace the 390 FE with a efi 300 inline six with a C6. However, someone just offered me a 400/C6 I know is in good shape.

My 390 is scrap (seized) and I was going with the 300 just because I had it around. The 400 would work just as well.

It is a nice truck and I want to use it as an occasional work horse - speed/power/fuel mileage are not so important, other than I want them to be reasonable.

My question is about the motor mounts - how different are they? Will the stock 390 mounts work, or will the 400 mounts from a later truck bolt to my frame?

I did a search on motor mounts but that did not yeild anything on point.

Thanks for the help.

Perches from a 400 powered truck will bolt to the frame of your 72 if they are from a pre-80 truck.
