Okay so I have a 74 Comet, that i'm trying to do an engine swap for. I took out the straight 6 and I have a 302 from a late 70's f-150. I don't know very much about cars, but i know i need mounting brackets because currently the engine is just not fitting in. I was just wondering if anyone knows where i can get some and if there's anything else i would need so i don't run into more problems after. Any and all information is greatly appreciated!
motor mounts and stand and a trans mount is the oil pan front sump if not you will need that as well I have all of those parts bead blasted and ready to paint and install
Alright i'm definately interested, but not sure how this works. basically how do you want the transaction to go? i have a paypal account i just need to put some money into it and do you know how much it would roughly cost for the shipping? i live in ontario, canada. i'm only 20 and i've never shipped or had anything shipped to me before.
give me your full address and i will get quote it will have to go post office Thanks Raymond the maverick maniac

THERES A DAMN NEAR PERFECT 1970 maverick grabber in orange, (for $4,500) and if I dont get this figured out that cars gonna be gone.............
Welcome Chris. You're Dad is just worrying about you because Dads worry about these things. A few things you'll need besides the motor are - smaller bellhousing for C4 trans(i'm assuming it has a C4), trans mounts can be reused, you'll also need the six cylinder motor mounts. Exhaust will need modified. Does it have power steering? That can get tricky. Maybe you can convince your Dad you'll drive safely. That will be easier!
