79 F100 motor mounts

I'm not sure if this is where I can ask to buy parts or not, but I'm looking for a set of motor mounts for a small V-8, 79 F100 2 wheel drive. I need the frame side of the mounts because I'm pretty sure I can get the engine sides at the parts store.
I'm wanting to put a 221 in it & pull out the 300, I believe the 302 or 289 engine side mounts will interchange, or at least head me in the right direction to be able to modify enough.
Thank you for any help.

I'd think you'd want 6 cylinder frame mounts if youre putting in a 6 cylinder

You're now trying to put an engine in a year truck that never had that engine and because the frame is a different measurement than the year of the truck that had the 221..IMHO, you are going to have one heck of a time finding the right mounts.

I can provide you with illustrations ( I am printing them as I write this) and parts numbers, personally I think this 221 block is a bad choice.

My suggestion make your Move Upwards..not backwards.
 
motor mounts

Thanks for the suggestion.
The truck came from PA, I'm in upstate NY where all the oldies rust to dust, it was my brother-in-laws, the motor came from my nephews Fairlane, I already got the complete rebuild for the motor, so if nothing else, it'll be an interesting experience. The motor is somewhat of a rare one so that's going for it.
I figure once the mounts are in the body, the engine side can be "adjusted" to fit, welders and torches make great adjusters, stretch a bit here, drill a little there. If two of us can squeeze a 350 chevy in where a straight 6 came out of a '75 cj5, then this should fit with more room to spare.
I'll try to locate the mounts in the junkyard some more or ebay if need be, and I'll keep an occasional line & picture in here.
Thanks guys!
My other rides:2007 Tauras, 1999 Suburban, and my car from high school, a 1965 Falcon Futura convertable. It only took 27 years to restore, (actually 3-4 to do I just didn't have the cash and time before hand).
Ok, thanks for everything.
Bill
