71 sport custom engine swap
just bought my new project. Found a decent 351W with C6 and want to swap out the 360/auto. I was wondering about motor mounts. Is ther a kit or is it a simple swap?

Anybody know

Thanks

jeff

You need the mount towers from a 70-72 that came with a 302. They move the mount pad back a few inches.

Actually, 68-79 302 perches will work.

I didn't think a small block was available in an F100 until 1970?

It'll fit the perches, but not the tranny.

Thanks for your help
Sounds like a plan, Now if I can only locate one in So cal. Any year 300 better than another? I presume they didn't change too much over the years.
