302 Engine Perches
Hello All,
I am putting a 302 in my 67 F100 and need 302 engine perches. I went to my local junkyards but nothing to pull from. If someone could help me out or point me to a source I would really appreciate it. Thanks

That is a nice area - I get into Santa Maria sometimes.
Anyway, I held a set of motor mounts from a 77 351 and could not see any difference in those from a 72 302. It sure looked like they were the same - but they did bolt to a different set of holes in the crossmember.
I couldn't be sure that either the 72 or the 77 were stock - both trucks had been worked over by the last owners. But it is possible the perches you have will work with your 302, if you move them to the other set of holes.
