If I were you, I'd look for a V8 parts car or rust bucket... You will need MUCH more than a motor and transmission. Partial list; motor supports, bell housing, driveshaft, throttle linkage, radiator, rearend, front brakes, front suspension, pulleys and brackets. The 80 model motor you found should be converted to a carburetor, Duraspark ignition, and change out the water pump to a 66 style.

Required tools for operating a Vintage Mustang:
1. Duct Tape
2. J.B. Weld
3. B.F.H. (Big Fat Hammer)
4. VINTAGE MUSTANG FORUMS II
