Default need help

i got a 2000 mustang gt rolling chassis. Then I picked up a 95 v6 swap. What mounts do I have to use to make this work and the car has a qa1 k-member in it and the car was a v8 before. Also if i used motor plates should i use a blank 1 for the front and make it or is there 1 I can use. The last question what makes the 95 blocks so weak?

'95 block isn't weak. They have been proven to take 900 hp.

You'll need the '95 motor mounts.

I'm about 95% sure that doing that swap is illegal in VA, as in most states. You typically can't swap and older model engine into a newer model car.

True... didn't even cross my mind.
Look for a wrecked F150 to buy a 4.2L V6 out of and drop that in. More power, same money.
