Hi folks, I have a 71 F-100 and just got a 06 crown vic front suspension. Does anyone have any ideas or know of any motor mounts that will fit my 460 to this suspension or am I going to have to fab them? I haven't installed the suspension yet but plan on starting the next day or so. If I am not going to be able to use my BBF I will go another route. I really wanted the R&P steering and the disc brakes. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!!

If you're a decent fabricator, you can put a 460 in a Radio Flyer. For something this custom, if it was me, I wouldn't even look for mounts. I figure I'd spend less time and money than I'd spend searching, buying, modifying.....and I'd wind up with EXACTLY what I want instead of somebody else's compromise. Just my .02.

IMO your easiest route would be a motor plate with strut rods. The trade off would be a "stiffer" ride but thats really it. This way you can put it where you want it.

I've watched the videos on you tube, they don't show anyone putting a big block in anything. I was looking at everything today. I will probably end up making my own. Unless someone can come up with a better solution. Thanks for the help!

If it's a race only deal just go the normal motor plate + mid plate + for/aft travel limiters route. If it's a street car & you don't want the vibration with plate mounts just use the street rod type rubber/urethane bushings & fab up some side mounts.
