i'm swaping in a 92 4x4 f150 300, e40d+ transfer into a 1986 F250 diesel 4x4 chassis. yes i'm also swaping the cab and front clip fule lines and tanks and all chassis wires
Right now the diesel truck has a 351w backed by a 4speed out of an earley 80s late 70's truck ( engine and tranny are wore out, before you start bashing me and the body is trashed)
i'm wondering if I need the 300 frame to motor mount bracket out of an 86 model F250 or if i can use the F150 brackets? i've heard of people swaping out the 300 but i'm a huge fan and want to swap one in.
and also i've got a 13-56 transfer with the slip yoke and the drive shaft for the long bed diesel has the slip one the shaft will this pose a problem?
getting a shaft made isnt a big deal i was just wondering if i can use the slip yoke shaft and transfer together.

yeah i got out side and looked really good and started measuring, and i'll be able to use the 92 300 mounts. looks like i'll have to drill and reposition my transcross member too. i'll propbably use the one off the f150 also.
i'm also going to have to cut a chunk out of my f150 front cross member on the driver side, and weld it into the f250 where the guy before me torched it out to replace the diesel with the 351w he torched out the crossmember to access the oil filter
and i'm going to have to have a custom rear shaft welded up. but thats no big deal.
