engine swap question

we are looking at swapping out a 351m for a 302. the truck is a 77 f-250 highboy with the creeper gear manual tranny and divorced transfer case. Is this swap possible? will we we be able to find the proper bell housing and motor mounts for the narrow frame width of the highboy?

I'm not certain but I think all the V-8 mounts for a truck or van are the same. I know the 302 and 351w are the same mounts.
