Ford and Chevy don't mix. You're going to have to use the Ford k-member and fabricate/weld SBC mounts, or perhaps someone sells a motor mount conversion. Prepare to fabricate some custom parts.

Haha that's cool! You'll be pissing off alot of people. Ford guys that got beat by a Chevy powered ford, and LSx owners that got beat by a LTx powered fox body. Haha cool project man!

I know they make kits for sbc's which is I'm sure what you'll need. I just don't know who makes them. Good luck!

not sure how that stick harness will hold up in the 'stang. id get a standalone if i were you. stock k member should work but will for sure need new mounts. all i can say is RESEARCH, RESEARCH, RESEARCH!!!
