as far as I know there arent any motor mounts for this swap. Chances are that they will have to be customer made. I dont think that the 351 will clear a 93 hood easily. Let us know, and give us pics!

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
