RE: WHERE IN THE CAR
Motor mounts were the biggest problem for me upgrading from a 260 to a 302.All the parts store guys just sighed and told me there were too many variations in motor mounts for that car that year.they had no idea what to order.I was lucky enough to find an auto wrecker within 15 miles of my house who had a 70 mustang with no motor and all mounts were there,easy to get,right for my application.
The unfortunate part was the guy knew my problem and charged me $90. for them.
