A 1964 FE engine has the old-style block bosses.
By Dave Shoe - 10/02/2001 11:57:50 PM; IP 216.243.158.206
In 1965, Ford redesigned the FE with four bosses for bolting up the motor mounts. Prior to this, all FEs had two bolts holding each motor mount to the block.

It may be a challenge to mount the motor mounts to the engine with two of the expected mounting bosses missing. On the other hand, it might be doable, I dunno.

I suspect the 1969 Falcon uses 1967-70 style Mustang motor mounts and frame brackets. I don't know this with any reliability, but it's a direction to start looking. If my suspicion is true, all you need is Mustang frame mounts for a small block V8, as they are easily converted to big block mounts by redrilling five holes n them. Brand new FE insulators and "repro" FE engine plates are easy to find, too.

Crites Restoration has a great website with lots of hints for you. This site can answer questions that I'm only guessing at.
