i have a 97. i have a 306 and trans. that is ready to go in and i wasn't sure if i could just buy v8 mounts and fuel pressure, and stand alone ignition and make it run, i will have to buy a v8 radiator and rearend but i didn't want to start gathering parts for a project that was unfeasable. i appreciate your input. thanks

yea they make a fuel sending units to get rid of the in tank pumpand you can just put an inline pump if ur goin to carb it. i would go injected if it was me.you shouldn't have any prolbem geting the motor bolted up..just make sure u do a nice job on the wiring part of it sould be a pretty easy swap as long as you get all the parts first

my major concern was if the k member would work or not i am still sitting around not acomplishing anything. i am still riding the fence, debating if i want to tear my mustang apart to try it. i have seen several people around here that hae done it but they act like its some big trade secret or something.
