Motor Mount help

I have a '71 F-250 2 wheel drive. I want to pull the 390 out and put a 460 into the truck.

Does anyone know if the motor mounts and towers out of a mid to late 70's model truck will fit in the '71? Or does anyone know of a company that makes or sells 460 conversion mounts for the '71 trucks?

The towers and mounts out of any 70s era pickup that came with a 460 will work.

Dennis Carpenter sells a kit to adapt the 429/460 into your truck for about $160

There are two towers, right/left. Two right/left engine mount brackets that bolt to the block, the two rubber insulators (right/left is the same), bolt to these.
