351W into 1954 Ford sedan... What kind of mounts can I use? Will be mated to a C 4 tranny. Do I have to fab up mounts from scratch?

That is an easy one, go to Speedway for the 351 mounts.
Others carry them also.
Dont know about the C4 but it shouldnt be an issue even if you have to trim and use a universal style mount.

you need to find a motor mount visual guide, usually the parts places have these thrown around. If you car has what should be a 272 or similar block there are mounts that bolt right I think they are from a late 70s granada. I used them on my 57 for no problem about 10 bucks each

When are you going to stab that engine in there?

Probably before Christmas Deyo. Just as soon as I get it from Alex which will be in a few weeks or sooner.

Shoot, I did not say this.. the 54 had a straight six.. at least before I got a hold of it.
