Default 4cyl question

i bought a 1985 merkur with the 2.3t and i've got a classic with a 5.0 in it, and i was wondering if they use the same mounts on the frame as the 5.0?

No, the 5.0 is different than the merkur, merkur is different than the turbo coupe, the turbo coupe is not the same as the mustang 2.3

lets say i had a 5.0 85 mustang and i wanted to swap a 2.3l in could i slap some 2.3 motor mounts in place of the 5.0 motor mounts and the engine fit?

Yes, the merkur is mounted with a stud and nut, the mustang is a bolt and nut.

Swap the 2.3T with a diff. computer and injectors (VAM?) then swap the 5.0 into the merkur
