351 M mounts

Post by 03rangerxlt »

Just found out my truck has a 351 M in place of the stock 360. Whoever did the swap did a horrible hack job, and used van mounts that are hacked up to try getting this to work. The motor is not sitting straight on the frames. and the fan got into the radiator and chewed it up. Does anybody know if anybody makes mounts to fit a 351 M in a '68 Ranger?

Just use the factory 302 frame stands....they'll work just fine. See the following link:

Yup, Keith beat me to it, but the 302 stands are the same as the 351M stands. While you got the motor out you should do a cam change to a nice r/v cam and put a performance timing set in it to get rid of the factory 5* retard! With a cam swap, 500-600cfm 4barrel, and timing fix it would be a different animal! :D
