429 swap questions

I am looking at get a 1979 F-150 4x4 with a 351m and an automatic. I would be swapping in a 429, correct me if Im wrong but the tranny will bolt right up but I will need motor mounts. Where do I get them? What else will I need for this swap? Thanks

I'm pretty sure that the torque converter will not work you have to use a fe torque converter. The trans will definately work.
