hey guys....I just got my "new" motor, actually its an 89 5.0 with 100,000 miles on it. No leaks or smoking supposedly. I took out my old motor and Im getting ready to put this one in. I just have a few questions. First of all, do I need to buy new motor mounts? The ones I have now are from the original 87 ssp stang. If so, where can i get a reasonably priced pair under 80-90 dollars. (Im on a COLLEGE BUDGET)

My second question is where can I find a reasonably priced clutch? I need a new one as the one i had in my old car was already bad when the motor blew. I don't need a super clutch, my car is basically stock. Any help would be greatly apreciated. Remember I'm living cheaply here. And any tips on putting the new motor in would be nice also.(first time motor replacer, doing it myself with help from my roomate)

Thanks Guys

i would say go on ebay for a cheap clutch and the motor mounts. if your on a budget and all

motor mounts... get new ones from like autozone or w.e.

and clutch, dunno what u wanna spend... but i just ordered a spec stage 1 for $210. a stocker from parts store is 170 or so... this one can handle a lil over 400ft/lbs, i saw no reason not to get it... strong clutch, cheap price...

if your motor moutns arent trashed just reuse the old ones, that will free up some cash for ya.

definatly a centerforce df! it may be a little more $, but you will be glad you did it....it is the best part that i bought for my car
