I have a problem with trying to figure out the motor situation of this vehicle. I have found a book that it came with a 429 but it is not a squire addition that i know of. I wanting to put a 302 in it and the book i have read says nothing about any other motor options for this vehicle. what would be the easiest way about putting one in, getting motor mounts from an earlier or later model?

The 1971 Ranchero was available with the inline 6, small block Ford v-8, and Ford FE engines. You can still get the motor mounts for the SB V-8 and FE from a variety of aftermarket companies.
