Hello to all fellow Oilburners!! I am new to the site... but I have a pressing question.. one that is burning me up because I cant find the answers that I need...I have searched the interned hi and lo for answers and have come up with nothing... even asked a few of the local shops around here. I have an 86 f150 with the 300ci I6, and a 4speed manual. I'd like to swap in my mildly hopped up sohc 4.6 and automatic tranny (4r70w). My question is what must be done to make the engine swap successful... i'm not worried so much about the tranny. but I was told that I would need engine perches from a 97 or newer f150 that had a 4.6 in it and the motor mounts as well. Does anyone know, heard, seen anything of this seemingly major feat.?? I guess another one of my biggest questions is yes I could go get motor mounts and frame perches from a 97 or newer but will they bolt up or weld up in my 86 frame or is there differences in the frames?? Please help!!!
