to get teh motor to fit, reverse the crossmemeber, get a mustang oilpan, and get some mount converting plates made
and modify the tranny crossmemeber and driveshaft

thats will get it in the engine bay and in place right?

I'd say you will probably need a different trans crossmember, but I don't know. Search Grannysspeedshop.com and the V8RX7 side of Torquecentral.com and you will find the answers easily I'm sure. A few people have had serious issues with granny's, especially for 3rd gen cars and LT1/LS1 stuff. But the 1st gen 302 I'd bet you'd have no problems with. I can't remember if anyone has mentioned using a C4 either - I've seen an AOD mentioned though. Most people have been using the T5 behind that. Good luck.

my roomate is machining all the brackets neccisary, so i dont have to deal with grant
my mounts are similar to his for the enigine, except that im welding them to the crossmember for piece of mind

the tranny x-member might be the stock one off of the donor car (79 t-bird) if it fits okay with a little floorboard strengthening
or is there any chance i can get one made that will use the stock mount points?

btw do i need to hammer the firewall anywhere besides behind the vavle covers, is this even neccisary
