Engine swap question re: engine shocks

Can I swap an upper oil pan from a N/A engine to Turbo engine? 617.??? to 617.952? (My FSM shows no 300TD prior to 1981)

The engine shocks on the 1980 NA motor have their own cross member that bolts to the upper oil pan and the shocks bolt to the chassis. (As opposed to the shocks mounting on the engine "Arms" and the chassis.) The turbo motor that's going in this non-turbo chassis does not have the appropriate holes in the oil pan to bolt this shock-holding cross-member.

So, in order to have engine shocks, I either need to swap the oil pan or weld on some lower mounts and use the turbo motor's "arms."

There is another set of holes behind the main chassis cross-member that look like shock mount holes but I don't know what engine mount "arms" have a mount hole that would line up.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated!
