    Hello all,

    I've recently got my hands on a 302 from a 90's Explorer and a T5 from a 96 Mustang to swap into my 73 Comet GT. The engine has already been through the machine shop and I will be assembling it this coming weekend with an Eagle 347 stroker kit. That being said its time that I start accumulating the parts needed to actually put all this in the car.

    I'm looking for the 302 motor mounts, 302 frame mounts, and the V8 frame brace. I've already talked to another user who makes the T5 crossmember so I think that should be covered. That being said I am open to any advice about this swap. I've heard that a clutch cable setup from the 90's mustangs is a pretty easy way to do the clutch linkage, as well as a driveshaft from one of those mustangs would work as well? If anyone has any input, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Good idea, thank you.
