What front mt do i use? I know the six mt wont work. I have the mt from an f250/292 but it is too short? I thought the frames would be the same? Stumped?
This is a 64 model f100

There is an "ear" on the front frame cross member (welded on) for the Y-Blocks. Not sure why the frame/mount would be different on the F250 (possibly different if it was a 4X4?).

Grits hit it exactly! you will need the frame "tab" from a 292 equipped truck. I can post pictures later tonight if needed.

If you don't find one, let me know; I have several, just have no idea where!

Thanks Toyz an Gritz. I'm working on a lead for one now but it is not for sure. If you can dig one up I would appreciate the help.
I'll post for one in the classifieds as well.

I thought sure I was installing my new Y today! Oh well It's always a bunch of little hurdles seems like.
here's a pic.

Allen,
We just recieved a new Mac's catalog they've got a page full of front engine mount parts for Y-Blocks. If your still looking you might want to check it out.
