Hello i have a 88 convertable that i am putting a 1979 351m big block in and was wondering if anyone knows if there are motor monts i can order out there? If i can make some work from a 400m or 460? Or will i have to make some? i don't know alot about foxbodys.I also was wondering if anyone knows of a good place to get part for foxbodys? I was also looking for a 4-5 speed manual to put behind my 351m if anyone has one for sale!

I believe 429/460 mounts will work.

Why not put a 351C in it? Many "speed" parts (cam/heads) will swap between the 351c and the 351m. Then you can use plain 302 mounts and a T5. You can also find many more speed parts for the 351C than the 351m.

Because I traded a 5 speed with creaper out of a old truck i had for the 351m and i know the modified motors i have a 78 ford f-250 with a 400m that's 500hp to the crank and i also have parts for the 351 sitting around from the 400 when i upgraded. So that's why i don't use a 351c. Otherwise the car would get a 429 or a 514 the modified was just there and i decided to put them togeather and have a toy because my 78 is more of a show truck than a toy like i would like to make the mustang.

Sumitt Racing has conversion mounts/lowering mounts for the fox bodies to 351's.
