Engine Swapping / 3.8 to 5.0
I'm transplanting a 302 into my 87 cougar and looking for some tips. I have the 3.8 motor mounts which don't bolt up of course... what I need to know is if anyone knows where I could find the top halves to the mounts that will bolt to the 302 or if anyone knows where I could find a complete set for a reasonable price. Also the oil pan I have on the donor motor is a front sump and needs to be swapped to a rear sump which provides its own problems. The replacement shows a pan with low spots in the front and rear. Will this work with an existing throu the timing cover dipstick or will I have to find a pan that has the side hole for the dipstick since the motor is before the days of the dipstick hole in the side of the motor.
