Couple questions

Starting on a new project. 79' shortbed regular 2wd. Has 300-6 in it now have a 347 to put in. 1st question what do I need to change to put in347 motor mount wise. Number 2 I'm wanting some 1 3/4" headers, what headers are available. Will fox body shorties work. Or does someone make a big tube full length. I've looked but haven't found much.

Mount perches will be different, be carefull with full length headers as the frame cross member below the oil pan will more thn likely be different. I found this out doing a engine swap but I went from big block to small block and found that cross member would not allow for long tube headers so I ended up with shorties.

I figured perches would be different, I think it would be easier to put a bbf in it and have more performance parts to choose from. But I already have the 347 and everything to go with it. So it's going in.
