engine towers?

I have a 66 f100 with a 429. Homade engine towers. I have pulled the engine and tranny I know that everyone has told me to use towers from a 73-79 w/ a 460. I would just like to see some pics of those and of the mounts b/c the ones I got from the part store dont even look like they will fasten to the block. If anyone could email the pics or give a link. I would greatly appreciate it or let me know if Im missing something.

If you go into my gallery there are some pics of my engine.
I used the factory mounts and you can just make out the right motor mount in one of the photo's and if you look through the hedder on the left photo, you can just make it out. This may help you until some one post a better pic Eric

engine towers?


I am thinking of buying a f100 that currently has a blown 6cyl in it. I have a 351 Cleveland out of a 71 cougar that I want to put into it. What will I need to do to make this happen? Is there a simple change kit? If so where can I buy it at? What kinds of changes will I need to make on the front end springs?
You can email me at mymojo@myself.com and of course post info here
