1989 Thunderbird V-8 Swap

I have a 89 T-bird and want to swap a 351W motor and matching trans into it. Can anyone point me in the right direction for adapters, mounts, etc. and a guide that might let me know what problems I might run into?

Hello

I have A 1990 with A 351w & Fmx transmission. It is A 1/2 mile asphalt stock Car.
You can use the motor mounts from A 91-92 with A 302. The 351w should both up to your current transmission. Exaust might have to be custom made. You must upgrade with the Allum Raditor. you might have to put A small hood scoupe due to the higher engine. you must upgrade your front springs. I would go with the Super Coupe front springs SEE www.mn12performance.com for Spring & Bushing replacement help. make sure to check on your emmisions for your state.
Remember you need A double hump oil Pan to fit this car.
Take it slow, & do it right the first time.
