289 into a 65 . perch issues???
How do I put a 289 into a truck that is semi out fitted for a 390...by semi...i mean rigged up. the motor mounts (perches) are missing 1 bolt per side. and have been bent to fit. I want this thing sitting solid .

The 1969/72 F100 302 perches are different. If you can find the 1969/72 perches, they will work. You may have to modify the 1973/79 perches to fit correctly.

the 289 turned out to be something I DIDNT need.
so now I have to mount in the 302 and find a tranny for it.
it had a c6 originally...but it was sold to someone else.
