Small Block Ford, AKA SBF (260/289/302/351W)
FE Ford: [/FONT][FONT="]http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/ford-fairlane-500-1957-engine-swap-v6-to-fe390.953789/[/FONT][FONT="]
Notes - 260/289/302 engines are your best bet for an easy fit. 351W engines will fit, however they are slightly wider at the heads, which may cause clearance issues (such as headers, steering box, etc). Head and block info:
[/FONT][FONT="]http://diyford.com/ford-cylinder-heads-valvetrain-interchange-small-block/[/FONT][FONT="]
Clearance between the water pump pulley and radiator can be tight, especially when using the v-belt 70-78 Windsor pump (5.700" hub to base). For v-belt applications, a short water pump (5.440" hub to base, pass side inlet, 65-73 SBF and some later tucks) should be used. A Ford Motorsport M-8501-E351S can also be used for even more clearance. The FMS short pump will require custom pulleys, available from [/FONT][FONT="]CVS Rac[/FONT][FONT="]ing
Depending on the thickness of the radiator used, and the water pump used, an electric cooling fan may be required
Motor/Trans Mounts ('54+)
[/FONT][FONT="]- 1986 Lincoln MKII/Thunderbird/Mustang 5.0, Anchor part # 2725 (L) and 2726 (R)[/FONT][FONT="]
- [/FONT][FONT="]1963 Falcon 260 mounts, Anchor # 2220 (L) and 2221 (R)[/FONT][FONT="] - In my experience, these are a better option if you are having firewall/trans tunnel clearance issues, as they position the engine lower and further forward. These are the mounts I used with my '54 302/T5 swap because I was running into firewall/throttle linkage clearance issues with the Lincoln mounts.
- [/FONT][FONT="]Prothane 6-501-BL - Prothane Motor & Transmission Mounts[/FONT][FONT="] - The matching mount for C4 or AOD is this: [/FONT][FONT="]http://www.jegs.com/i/Prothane/311/6-1605/10002/-1?parentProductId=762286[/FONT][FONT="]
- T5 transmission mounts - [/FONT][FONT="]Energy Suspension 3-1109G(need link)[/FONT][FONT="]. I ended up using a [/FONT][FONT="]universal trans mount kit (Prothane#311-6-501-BL)[/FONT][FONT="] on the stock crossmember for my '54 w/302/T5.
- Butch's Cool Stuff also offers a bolt-on engine/trans mount kit... [/FONT][FONT="]SBF in a 17" 52/53[/FONT][FONT="], [/FONT][FONT="]SBF in a 15" 52/53[/FONT][FONT="], [/FONT][FONT="]SBC in a 52/53[/FONT][FONT="], [/FONT][FONT="]54/56 V8[/FONT][FONT="], [/FONT][FONT="]54/56 I6[/FONT][FONT="], and [/FONT][FONT="]others[/FONT][FONT="]. They also offer a 5% discount for group members or a 10% discount for HAMB alliance members.

Notes
- [/FONT][FONT="]Here is an album[/FONT][FONT="] with good photos of the minor modifications that need to be made to the motor mount pads on the factory crossmember for '54+ cars when using the factory style SFB mounts above.
- Polyurethane mounts are less prone to separation than the Anchor parts that are now made in India/China.
- Above applications are for 260/289/302 swaps. For 351W swaps, clearance may be an issue. See [/FONT][FONT="]Rockabillykat666's thread part 1[/FONT][FONT="], and [/FONT][FONT="]part 2[/FONT][FONT="] regarding 351W fitment experiences and ideas.
