55 Customline motor, trans, rear swap

Greetings to all. Currently restoring my 55 Customline. Had a 272Y, Ford Omatic column, stock rear. I would like to swap to a SBF 302 / C4, and an 8 in rear. I was able to get a narrow rear end with new 3.55 but will still need to move the leaf spring perches over a little to match the stock set up. My questions are: 1. what motor mounts will bolt right on, ****** mount, if possible without any mods. Also if I match the spring perches to the stock axle will the c4 ****** line up with the 8 inch rear axle?
Thanks to all in advance for any help..JIM

 

Fox Mustang motor mounts (79-92) Trans mount I am not sure, see if the one off the Ford-O-Matic bolts to the C4. I have only messed with stick shifts, so I am not much help on that part.
Aligning trans and rear should not be an issue.

 

I put a 302 with an FMX and a Maverick rear, got motor mounts from Butch's in Ohio,
I just redrilled the stock crossmember for the trans but I'm not sure if that will work for the C4, I put new spring pads on the rear, had a new driveshaft made. it's a pretty simple deal. Good luck !

Thanks for the help on this. I also seen with the ****** that the bellhousing can be small or large type. Would either fit with the 55 ford Customline or is their one over the other?

Thanks again..Its appreciated

 

I believe either the small or large bellhousing will work, but not totally sure.
