Thats going to be hard. Your going to need to custom make some motor mounts and i dont know what you have to do with all the wires and stuff. On a carbed motor you dont have all of the fuel sensors and bs.

True,you think the cross member and motor mounts out of a 95 gt would work?

id say your better off finding a 96- and up gt or cobra motor possible out of a wrecked car and take the tranny out with it. That would be the easiest when it comes to wiring and stuff.....but wiring is the harderst, do you get where im going.....?

Thats a great point the reason i am going with a carbed 302 is much easier to modify and i dont have to worry about all those wires and junk i wont even have to have a computer also a 96 up gt or cobra have 4.6L in them not that there is anything wrong with that it is just i am a 5.0 person!
