engine swap troubles
i hav a 79 f150 two wheel drive with a 302,c6 tranny and a 9 in. rear with 2.73 gears. I am wanting to put a 351 windsor from a 82 e150 in it i know it will bolt up to my trans but what i am told is it wont drop right into the factory mounts on the frame. I do understand the 302 and the 351W do use the same motor mounts on the engine. Can anyone tell me if this is true about the frame mounts or not and if it is is there a swap kit avaliable for it and who makes it. all responses can be posted here or sent to my e-mail at gto455judge@yahoo.com

Hi I just did a302 to 351w swap for my friend we had to take a 1/4 inch out of both frame mounts driver side taken from rear of mount and pass side from front of mount
basicly we opened up the solt . in the stock config the engine was way off from center.
I hope this was the info you were looking for.
also make sure that you use the C6 351w flex plate
