I have an '89 BII & an '80 F-250 3/4 ton 4x4 w/ rebuilt 351m, bad tranny. I want to pull the motor, tranny & transfer case out of the 250 & stick it in the BII. The motor has a 2 barrel carb with mechanical fuel pump. The BII already has a 3" body lift. I was going to get a wiring harness from either painless or summit racing. The questions: Where can I get motor mounts? What all needs to be cut or removed in the engine compartment? Am I going to need to reinforce the front end for the weight of the new motor? Thanks for your help.
 
You won't be able to get mounts you'll have to make them and honestly a 351m would be a waist in my opinion, its a heavy motor that is big to fit in a ranger, its just allot of work for a okay motor, if you understand what I'm trying to say
 
I've seen it done. the main reason the guy did it was because he had a mildly built 351 already. ended up being a lot of custom fab to make it work. It was very tight. monster truck with it though
