The standard way a Y block is mounted in a '56 F-100 is with a single mount at the front of the engine and two mounts on the bell housing to a rear cross member on the frame. I don't know of any other way to mount the engine and transmission into an unmodified F-100 frame.

There are instances where a center mount crossmember is put into place on the earlier Ford pickups to use some of the later model automatic transmissions. Here’s the link to a crossmember that can be retrofitted to work with the Y engine. http://midfifty.com/item.php?INV_ID=1789
