Thank you for all the information. I located a set of perches out of a 1973 that came with a 390, will these work?

Where do they sell them New ?? I was quite surprised but I found them in the 77-79 Ford Trucks LMC Catolouge. Made me eat my words when I said they don't sell them new. $12.95 ea.

No, FE (390/360/352) perches are the same as I6 only in the other set of bolt holes.

Is it the perches you're talking about or are you talking about the motor mounts?

I just checked the LMC 73-79 website catalog, they DO offer the engine perches. They call them engine mounts. WOW!

Hate to ask a dumb question, but I have a 65 with the 352FE and an auto. Is a fuel injected 302 a better way to go? Is the truck a little heavy for this? Also, if it has an auto in it right now, would I have tocut the floor to install a 5 speed with the 5.0 mustang motor?
