i know there is plenty of motor interchanges that have been in 1950 ford shoe boxs. i finally found a complete car to take every part from to swap into the shoe box its a ford mustang runs perfect, shift awsome. so now i need to find the best motor mounts to just bolt the motor in. i know jamco has them but from what ive read they take your money and never ship your parts. is there any other company out there that has motor and tranny mount that i can pay for and will get. thanks all info welcome....

Get a rear sump pan and a 90 degree oil filter adapter and you are on your way. I put a 289 in my 49 last year, pretty simple.
I'm looking to put a sbf on my 49 coupe as well so I wouldn't have to cut anything should everything be bolt up
