Motor mounts on block

Hey fellows I've got a 73 f100 with a 460 i was able to find the factory frame perches and mounts in a salvage yard. About 2 months ago i removed the engine to redo it and have finished but have proceeded to lose the steal mounts that go on the block. I was wondering if these were specific to ford truck 460 or will any other ones work on the block like a car or something any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance Chuck

Yes due to the unique 3 pc mounting system they are different.

that looks like a small block chevy!

the ones I have look just like the mounts for a 360/390, except instead of having one bolt to bolt it to the frame perches, it has 2, on above the other......I think that picture above is completely wrong!

I beleive the ones you have are later model ford truck mounts then like in the 80s if I recall, go ask to look at a set from say a 89 F250 with a 460 in it.

Ledhead,

Ford didn't put 460's in 78 4x4's

Only 4x2's

4x4's didn't get 460's until 1983.

You need the L & L brackets.

Here is the OEM set-up for 4x2's again.

Hey guys and gals thanx for the quick responce does anyone have any idea were i might find some of the support brackets for the block new or used. Really dont want to buy new kits from L+L or somebody like that. Guess i'll go looking in the salvage yards again these arent easy to find in my area.
thanx again chuck
