I don't know what years they ran those, but I know they were on '60-62 for sure.
It looks like the engine now has side mounts on it, that are attached to that horrible box tube "cross member" thing.
Someone on here will have the proper horseshoe saddle, so you can go back to the way it should have been.
It also has a PTO winch? That's what that thin driveshaft and pillow block bearing is, coming off the transfer case. That's $$ right there!

Get the correct front engine mount, take some pics of the pillow block PTO driveshaft mount, then take a grinder and get rid of that whole mess, then have a fab shop make you a nice mount for that PTO shaft's bearing and roll on!

You've got a kick-ass price negotiating tool there...

(oh, oil pan should be dropped and welded, or just replaced. Order a new one, and swap it out yourself. Shouldn't be hard)

The mount he has on there now was for a 235, so he does not need a horse shoe mount which was for a 283 that would have the flat plate to the rear of round engine mount
