Default dropping in a big block need some help

well guys currently me and my uncle are looking for a 94-98 body style mustang to drop our 460bb twin turbo 9 inch rear and a c6 trans into.

my question is does anyone make a motor mount kit to fit these cars or does it have to be done custom?

doing it ourself is not a problem just looking for something to save some time on and if someone made mounts already that would definatly save us some time.

any help or critisizm is greatly appreciated.

Jegs and Summit sell the kit for 79-93 but don't know about 94-. If you are building a Twin Turbo 460 building a set of motor mounts shouldn't be much of a challange. How about some photos of the engine

will have pics up as soon as its put together. its currently getting the heads shaved and being bored out and all that good stuff at the moment.

and we are still looking for a car to start the project with. hopefully i can find one with no rust around wi for us to use.


oh and forgot to mention this will be a street driven car that will see the track every sunday after it is complete. it will have a full roll cage along with alot of other safety equipment.

one last question as me or my uncle have never built a turbo setup. (iv owned talons and eclipse's that were turbo but never a rear wheel drive one) what gears would you guys reccomend to run? remembering it will be a street car more than a track car.

Why are you looking for 94-98?

87-93 would be way easier and a bit cheaper, they sell kits for it.

Why are you asking about motor mounts, but able to throw together a boosted 460?
