Front style FE engine mounts

Could someone please straighten me out on what exactly the front style motor mounts is and where I should be looking for one. While I haven't decide what mounting system I want to use for my 292-390 transplant, I would sure like to see one before I decide.
I heard that they used these styles on F-600's and up, but what years etc.
Thanks for any help

You can find these parts in question on any 65 or 66 F350 or larger truck. I'll do some checking, I might have a line on one.

I would love to hear from you that you do have a line on one. I don't know if they are rare, or there is not much interest in them. But I haven't seen one in mysearches on the net. I am going to start looking in the truck boneyards. Mostpeople I talk to don't seem to think I won't have a hard time locating one.

Thanks, John. I have seen these in whitneys and would be all for them, but I have to admit that I love the wide open bottom half of the engine. Can you imagine how easy headers are going to be and if I have to do some bottom end work, no messy crossmember to battle with. I do know that the torque on these engines did cause problems with the front single mount. I was think of mabey using some torque straps where the normal mounts would be. Is that crazy?
One of my primary goals when I build the engine is to make a torque monster that will tow my trailer over Parleys Summit with ease.

Thanks David! I will definitely file this name for safe keeping. I am going to start seeing what I can find locally. One thing that I have found in my on-line shopping is that p&h is a killer of decent deals. I appreciate your help.

Between my wifes honey-do's and my son's '66 Mustang, I kept too busy for yarding. We are building a mild street 289 that should make it go pretty good. Now I just hope he minds his p's & q's.
