Windsor swap

[Samos3]

Here is a link to Ridetechs page on 460 and Godzilla mounts. Granted these are to bolt up to the Ridetech subframe/crossmember, but that part is identical. The plate that bolts to the engines is different. You can see just how much different.
They also have a small block Ford mount which is different from those two.
But you can see the block mount differences.
And that's before figuring out where exactly on the block they are located.

Thank you samos3. After looking at the motor mounts, they will not assist in my situation. It allows marring modular 7.3 engine to old frame motor mounts. I need opposite... old engine side mounts to newer s197 side chassis mounts. Thank u for trying. Fred

It will not be road legal.
F**k carburetors.
Low HP to fuel economy.
Good luck getting registered.

Anyone that ever heard Weber 45,s on a 4 pot would never say that I can only imagine an 8 pot with those

I didn't expect them to. Just the opposite. It shows how much different the 460 block mounting is to the Godzilla mounting.

two more places to try:

1) George Wright https://9500rpm.com/projects.html does a LOT of stuff with CJ builds and might be able to help
2) Watson Racing https://www.watsonracing.com/ also had a hand in a lot of the factory CJ resurgence

years ago I saved off a pic of an S197 with a little small block installed. It looked incredible. Good luck with the hunt, and with the build!

An older fella here has a '10 that he put a 427FE into, so, it's possible. Real professional work. He's from Detroit, where the work was done.

Thank you kazman. I don't give up on projects. I pulled out my composite sbf block. Put rear sump oil pan on and solid motor mounts. After church sunday will start fabrication on rest of mount to bridge old w new. I will load pics in future.
