What was the original color of these engines?
And mine has the center front mount.Is this the same mount as the I/6?I'm asking about the part on the front of the crossmember that the engine mount sits on.
T.I.A.

They were originally a dull red, which they don't make anymore. I think a lot of guys are using a Ford red that is close to the factory color.

Do you have any pics of the mount?

I've used Ford Red, looks fine to me! Not sure on the motor mount but I'd doubt it's the same as on the inline 6. What truck is this in?

It's a 351 out of a large dump truck.I want to put it in a 64 GMC.
It uses the single center front mount,similar to the I/6 center front mount.
I have it on a motor stand to run it,but I'd like to put it in the truck to get it out of the way,so I need to fab a mount for it.Want to paint it first.
There's some pictures in my picturetrail.

The engine in my 5000 mounts that way, 1-ton and below use mounts on the side of the block. It shouldn't be hard to find a set, I'd recommend installing it using the factory setup. I can take some pics if you need them, let me know.
