    Front sump oil pan and pick up tube.
    Front cover with dipstick tube provision
    (explorer has dipstick in the block) will be problematic in a mav with headers.

    Must be "Maverick" 302 manifolds. Nothing else fits manifold wise.

    Frank corrected my terminology. I meant the metal part of the engine mounts. They are relatively hard to find. The rubber part of the engine mount you can get for $15 at AutoZone.

    Get the bell housing that fits the block and the flex plate to balance the ebgine. Any C4 bell housing will bolt to your C4 as long as it is a case fill and not a pan fill but you want a small bell V-8 bell housing to fit your engine and the flex plate has to have 157 teeth. The balance of the flex plate has to match the engine balance.
    All 302 and 351 bell housings will bolt to the engine - if it is a small bell it will bolt ti the front pump area of your transmission.
