'66 Mustang, now my 'questions about everything' thread!
I have a 1966 Ford Mustang coupe with a 1980-82 Mustang 200ci and original 3 speed transmission. I have a 5.0L from a 1998 Ford Explorer that I would like to drop in the Mustang. I've been told that all 289 and 302 blocks use the same mounting holes no matter what year. I've tried to find exactly what I need to mount this engine, but it seems like all I can find are the frame mounts- but nothing that goes from the engine to the frame mounts. I've also found 2 or 3 different kinds of frame mounts, so I'm confused as to what I really need. I've been a Chevy guy all my life so Fords are a little new to me!
Can someone show me exactly what I have to buy in order to get this motor physically mounted in the car?
