I'm building an engine for a 1995 mustang, but the engine I am rebuilding is a 1984 out of a Lincoln mark VII, I want to know what parts I need to change for it to fit in the new car, (car is a 1995 mustang v6 with a t5) I've heard about needing a different timing cover? Anyway, your help is appreciated!

make sure the block is roller ready....if it's a flat tappet block, you can't just swap it in yours........the lifter bores in a flat tappet block are shorter and you can just throw a roller cam in a non -roller block..........1 of two ways........well actually only one correct way = use 365 dollar morel link bar lifters and any roller cam of your choice ground on the standard base circle.

I feel like I'm aware of most of the engine specific things, I'm looking for info on fitting it into the car, I'm looking to put a carb on it, do I need a specific oil pan? Different engine mounts? The mounts I have are from a mark VII which is a foxbody platform, etc.

You say you are aware of the engine specifics but your not sure about stuff like an oil pan and motor mounts???

Because the oil pan an engine mounts are car specific, I know that my engine will drop right into a foxbody (although it being a flat tappet block) but I am not sure what I may need to change for it to fit in the early sn95 platform.

Will there be clearance issues with the foxbody oil pan in an sn95? Does the sn95 have the same engine mount locations on the k-member as a foxbody?
