No idea what the difference in the blocks would be.... I'd check with the parts store, betcha the big Lincoln and big Galaxie from '71 have the same mount pattern for the engine mounts on the block.... Just a matter of determining which one is the single bolt mount that fits the crossmember....

hopefully i explained it right..... Trying to see the blocks are the same, but the mounts from Ford to Lincoln may be different....Make sense??????
