    Hello everybody, it's been awhile. Anyway, I just bought an 83 302 to swap into my '72 2 door. It currently has a 200 with a C-4. When I bought the motor, the guy gave me all of the wiring for the throttle-body/fuel injection, but I'd like to lose the T.B. and use the 2 bbl. he gave me off of a 351. He also threw in the exhaust manifolds to run duals, exhaust tubing off of an old Ford(Truck or car, I dunno!), and a bellhousing that was on this 302 and his C-4 (he went with a C-6). I know I'll need motor-mounts(Where can I find Them?), an engine and trans. crossmembers, and possibly an old 64-66 mustang gas tank so I can run duals(or do I need to change tanks?). Is there anything that I am missing? Where can I get the motor mounts, engine crossmem., and trans. crossmem.? Please help, I think I'm almost there. Thanks, Preston.

    Sounds like you have all the bases covered. I just did this swap. You do not need to change tanks to run duel exhaust. Just with the mav. tank I think the biggest pipe you can run beside the tank is 2 1/4inch????????? Maybe only 2 inch. Hope this helps.
