William K. Wilson aka NumberDummy can assure you the 240/300 mounts are NOT the same as a 302.
The 302 mounts are the same as 1977/79 351M/400 2WD. Nothing else will work (at least not by the part numbers they won't).
I listed the 302 motor mount bracket (perches) part numbers and what they fit in the other thread.

Gary, Are you certain that a forward-backward movement won't produce holes to use on the chassis? Your's is an issue that I don't recall coming up often.

after looking at a 77 frame and moving the mounts to that location on my 66 frame, three holes line up. so i can just drill one hole and it should work.thanks for all the input. i'll let you know if it works.

If I recall; when I did this swap acouple years ago; Both top holes line up; and the front lower hole on both the drivers & passengers side line up with the originial frame cross member holes; and I only had to drill the one in the back; which is slighlty lower than the bottom front hole when using 302 perches.
Good luck with your project.

Looks are deceiving...if the mounts were the same, they'd share the same part numbers...they do not.
240 and 300 I-6 perches are the same, as the block is the same.
