Default Motor mount question

Hey guys I am swapping my 300 for a 351w and was looking at some motor mounts a friend has, they are from a 78 f-150 and are the ones to convert a 300 to 351w. Will they fit my 85?

The best way to figure out what fits is to go to a motor mount mfr website (such as Anchor) and look up the part number for different years/make/models to see if they are the same or different.

I guess what I need to ask is are the frames the same between 78 and 85's or did they switch the frames when they switched the body styles?
