    http://www.mpbrakes.com brakes [UR...49-1953-Ford-Mercury-Frame-Adapters,6669.html motor mount, scroll all the way down.
    I' keep the frame as long as its in good shape. The rear end depends on how you're building the car, the stock rear should hold a mild sbc, as long as you're not beating it senseless.
