Engine mount question

I just recently bought a 56 f100 that had a 460 big block in it but it was removed, it had the tubular frame that was welded in and the eng mount pads bolted through a single hole on the frame on each side of the engine, I have seen these crossmembers in many of the parts suppliers catalogs, my question is will I have to put a different tubular crossmember for it to accept a 302? Since the big block was wider than my 302 I do not know if a conversion is possible or not to fit a 302 in its place without changing the crossmember that has already been installed, any help would be appreciated, thanks.
Dave

You will have to remove the crossmember and use one for a 302 they cost about $65.00.
