Unfortunately, no. And the truck is long gone. But they are easy to build. All it takes is a piece of plate steel to box a small area of the frame, a piece of 3" square tubing to use as an upright, a piece of small round tubing for the motor mount bolt to go through welded to the top of the square tube and you're in business. Install the engine in the location where you want it and build the mounts to fit. It's custom fabrication, but it's certainly not rocket science.
sbc, not cool. I'll grab my pitchfork and light a torch.

You can't go wrong with an 87-95 302 (5.0) They're cheap to build and have a ton of aftermarket support. The later 4.6 OHC or DOHC engines are a little more high tech if you want to go that route. They've been around now for 20 years and have a great reputation for being pretty much bulletproof.

What's the deal with the '95-'96 change? I bought a '96 but all the cool parts I want in the catalogs are for '95 and older, is it the roller cam or what's the difference?
P.S. I know you're a Merc fan so i'll mention that I just got back from riding in my friends '68 Cougar, that's a fun ride.

1995 was the last year the traditional 5.0 engine was used in the Mustang. But it was still used for a few more years in the Explorer. In that application, the engine used a unique water pump, intake manifold and heads. Probably a few other little things, too. But the basic engine itself is the same. What "cool parts" are you looking to use?

I was noticing on LMC that they have them new from 249.99..not too bad at all....what do you think about a 1984 302 with a T-5 already rebuilt and ready to go? do you think there would be fitment issues?

The Mustang T-5 will be a difficult fit from the sense the shifter will be set back farther than most people would be comfortable with.
