302 into a 68 F100

Post by RevisitedTJ1982 »

I'm trying to swap a 240 for a 302 but I'm having no luck. I have the both sets of engine perches and neither seem to fit for the 302. Any ideas?

Have you seen this:

In particular:
Note: When installing small-block stands into a '67, '68 or early '69 truck, the front crossmember won't be drilled for the lower attachment points on the engine perches, since the small-block wasn't a factory offering until 'mid-'69. You'll have to bolt up the perches up using the top holes and then drill the lower holes, using the perch as a template.
