Im frustrated! I cant find any specs anywhere on the net. Hopefully someone here can help me...

I have an 84 3.8 V6 that is getting very tired, and the car that I am driving is on a lease which ends next week. Time to get the Mustang running! I want to put in a 302 (probably the same year), but Im not sure how involved it is. Will I need to change the motor mounts? Is the drive train length any different? Will the suspension handle the weight for a bit until I can get it changed? Will the rear end be able to handle the extra power? Any help is GREATLY appreciated!
