Does anyone know if the motor mounts for a 260 V8 are the same as the 289.
I don't own a mustang but I just picked up a 260 that I am going to put into my 1964 F100. LMC sells a engine swap kit that says it will accept a 289/302/351W. The tech guy on the phone said he had no idea if it would also work with a 260. So I'm turning to you guys who are a little more familiar with the engine than the guys in the ford truck forum are. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

260/289/302/351 all mount the same. the 64-65-early 66 mounts in Mustangs were a multi-piece design, in mid-66 they changed to a simpler design.
