Ooooh boy, another engine swap

My brother is swapping a clapped-out 390 that breaks valvetrains in his immaculate '71 f250 for a warmed over 400m. He has the 4 speed trans, and all of the accessories for the 400, what is the story with engine mounts?

He'll need a set of mounts and towers from a 77-79 2wd with a 351M/400. You can buy the mounts from a parts store, the towers are a junk yard item.
