460 into 1968 Tornio Questions.

Ok. What type of motor mounts are needed? I see the crites stuff and have heard good things. Anything OEM type (wrecking yard) will work?

I know I will need better springs and brakes (already going to get the Chockostang 11" brakes and BB Springs) and a better Radiator. The transmission is still kinda up in the air. I score an AOD for $50 needing a rebuild, but that means I will have to add another $500 to the build for the Lentech conversion plate. C6 are good, not sure about the new autos that are electronically controlled. It will be a street car with some strip time. Pretty mild and tame motor.

So I know I will need
Different Mounts
Different Radiator (No problem there)
Transmission decision C6/AOD/Whatever that electronic one is called.
9" Rear (got an 8" now. )
Bigger fuel line and sender (crites?)
Anything else, besides the usual stuff? (headers, brackets etc).

How does the Shelby drop work out with the 460 in these cars?
Thanks!!!
