Question about motor mounts - very specific

I have a 1967 LTD with a 390. I need to replace the engine.. When I looked at some earlier 390s, the motor mounts bolted to the block with 3 holes, as opposed to my 4 hole setup. The holes were not positioned the same. I could not use my motor mounts on this motor, and the motor mounts on this motor would not work on my frame mounts. So, I need a later motor to do a direct swap, without having to drill out an earlier block to accept my mounts.

I have found a 360 from a 76 or 77 F series truck. Does anybody know what pattern is on the side of the block? Can I use this block (without modifications) in the 67 LTD? I know it is a 360, but it will bolt right up to my transmission, and my exhaust should bolt up as well, so that's why I am considering it. My main concern is with the motor mounts.

Thanks,
Greg

Any block after 65 should have the later bolt pattern plus the old one. Its the pre-65 blocks that are the problem.
