ok so as i have said before im putting a 69 429 from an ltd into a 76 ford high boy... are there any websites that have all that i need for parts from motor mounts to bell housings for a 4spd? or any shops in the salem oregon area?? thanks

You need the mount part that bolts to the frame, it's steel and can usually be found quite easily at a junkyard. Most any of the Ford big block pickups use the same mount.... same thing with the bellhousing, find an older yard and check with them. Bellhousing fitment also depends on what 4 speed you have. If it's the stock one in your '76, be sure to tell them that... Just get on the phone and let your fingers do the parts chasing. Lots of junkyards have web sites, too....

I installed the first 460 engine into a 1970 F250 back in 1970---took out 360/c6 and installed complete 460/c6 a/c p/s etc from a Lincoln M3-
Over the next couple of years many Ford people saw it (was at C. Shelbys often) and they decided to do it in 73-----after they did it I got a set of the steel frame mounts from them and changed out my modified 360 mounts--this lowered the nose of the engine for me and helped with the drive shaft angle when loaded heavy.

I just met an old Ford guy from back then ( didn't know him) (but he knew who I was) and he told me my old truck is still running some where in Colorado---It got to be known as the "Devil Truck" and evidently still has a following of those guys.
