    You won't need any "custom" mounts. The OEM V8 engine mounts will work.

    How do I get to your online shop? How much are they? Will I have to modify the shock towers to get the 302 to fit?

    The 302 was an option in the Maverick from 71-77 so you won't need to modify the shock towers.

    Plenty of info on the swap here in the forum

    if you have a 6 in there now you need to get v-8 frame mounts. the engine mounts can be bought at any parts store like napa, autozone or whatever you got nearby. the frame mounts are expensive and can be found from some members on here or ebay. you should also add the v-8 belly bar and most add the dual exhaust tranny crossmember.:)
