I had just gotten my hands on a 429 Thunder Jet and C6 tranny out of a 1971 T-bird recently, and I really want to drop it into my '73 Mustang. Does the motor mount up differently as apposed to a Cobra Jet from '71? Would I have any trouble mounting the C6 up where the old C4 used to be? What sort of mounting hardware would I need to get it all nestled in? You all can probably tell I'm new at this, and any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
