Any 360/390 towers or snag some 6 cylinder towers. Same thing.

??? All engine perches (towers as YOU call them) BOLT to the frame. The FE engine and Inline-6 engines share the same perches. However, one engine family uses the rear mount holes (FE) and the other (6 bangers) use the forward holes.

If you do indeed not have a crossmember under the engine you better get one before the frame flexes in and snaps.

Both show a crossmember UNDER the engine...

1st pic shows the engine crossmember and front bumper crossmember...

Are you seriously missing the Engine crossmember?

Most do, mine does, but I've seen the setup you have also. Or maybe I was smokin' crack at the wrecking yard last week.
