Engine Swap
The 351 Windsor was given to me, so thats why i wanted to put it in.
Also I have a another 78 Ford that had a 300 six in it, so you ae saying those towers will work. I have the motor and tranny from the 351 Windsor, mainly just was curious about the Frame mounts. Thanks Tim

I put a 351 Windsor in my 78 Bronco so I beg to differ with you.
yes the frame mounts will work
you are talking about the mount towers correct
just get the motor mounts for a truck or van with a Windsor
you already know that you have to change the trans with the Windsor right
oh yea, 351M is not a Big Block

Nope! I noticed that too, I thought maybe I had the mounts reversed? but I swapped them around and it sat in the same spot
it sits there fine as wine, and no its not up against the firewall
trust me when I was asking on all the forums if this would work everyone told me NO! but from all my measurements it would so I gave it a shot? I already had everything to do it so it didn't cost me anything extra to give it a try, I had to swap the output shaft in the Windsor 2whl drive tranny to the bronco short shaft, but that gave me a reason to try my hand at rebuilding a transmission, all worked out well, I have just put the project on hold since I picked up a 76 F250 4x4 Ranger XLT and I'm getting it ready for the road, I'll pick back up on it soon and finish the darn thing
77460ford has givin me a new found inspiration to get it done! but first I need to finish my Battle Tank

Finally got around to swapping my 351M for a 351W, fit perfect almost everything lined up, used the 351m frame mounts, driveshaft, radiator.
the only 2 things that did not work were the power steering pump, and the top radiator hose. the P/S pump bolted on to the water pump fine but where it mounts to the head it is not even close on the 351W.
Oh well I will fab a bracket and be ready to rock and roll!
Thanks for all you help!
