I have a 1960 f100 that currently has a 6 banger and I've built a 292 to put in, I can't find any mounts and brackets, anyone have or know where to buy everything needed to do the swap, all I find is for newer engines, thanks guys

Just a thought/suggestion if you can't locate the front truck type mount you can use an aftermarket mount that bolts to the frame and allows use of the passenger car side mounts. Only draw back is you can't use ram horn type exhaust headers or you want to keep it original. I made my own mount from a 57 passenger car crossmember when I had an FE in my 60 F100, it now has a 223 six and will have a Y block in the future, they all bolt right in using the side mounts.

The part which bolts to the engine is pretty common and should be pretty easy to find. You can start with a classified ad in the classifieds section of the forum.
I can't speak specifically about a '60 but on '61-'64, the 6 cylinder mounts directly to a cross member which is just behind the radiator. Since the V8 is shorter, the V8 trucks have a bracket which is riveted to the frame. This bracket will be the hard one to get because you will need to find someone who is parting out a V8 truck and is willing to remove it for you. Another alternative is to have a bracket made and welded in place.
So first, make sure a '60 is the same way so you're not looking for something that does not exist, and then try to find or make one.
