6 bolt block in 64?

Hey do you guys know whats involved in putting a newer motor(302) in the 64? I know the motor mounts are different. Can i just use the newer mounts, or is there a company that makes motor mounts for this swap?

The only differance on the block is the spacing may be different where the motor mount plate bolts to the block. The earlier 5 bolt blocks had a narrower bolt spacing. The later 5 bolt blocks have the wider spacing that is the same as all later Ford small blocks. If you have the narrow spacing you will have to modify yours or find a set of wide 64 mounts.[img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
