I been told that 429 frame mount from fairlane /Torino 70-?
make the swap a bolt in. Got a pair for sale Felony? but in 73 there was blocks produced that
was cast with two bellhousing bolt paterns and Knobs for the Cleveland/sb
mounts. I almost sure the engine i have is a 73 but dont know if it is like that
Have to see when stepson dig it out of the barn
If you go to the Torino Forum there is a how-to on fitting a 429 where a 351C was using the C frame mounts, so you can see where things get sketchy. I can't believe Ford would give the 400 its own unique frame perches (actually, knowing Ford, I can believe it), so is it SBF like the 351 or 460? What I have that is not any kind of priority but it feeds the brain malfunction that constantly builds things in my mind is a cheap '79 parts Ranchero with its formerly running 351M still in it, a 400 crank that a Chevy guy gave me, and an Edelbrock Streetmaster 400 another Chevy guy sold me at a good price. Racetec recently introduced pistons for the M and the 400 that solves that low compression problem those engines have. So, just trying to fit all the pieces to this puzzle, in my quest to know everything about everything.
The beast is out of the barn now and dissasembled! The engine mounts, block rubber ones, bolted to the block with three widely spread bolts from the LTD looks like they are going to fit right in on the Fairlane frame mounts.
