The perches are still fairly common in a lot of junk yards. I should have a pair around somewhere. Plenty of people here hit the yards fairly regularly, if you cant locate them locally. I have a bone yard visit in my schedule for some parts. Hopefully this week. I see them on ebay occasionally.

Ordered my rubber isolated mounts for the 351. I have decided right now to fabricate my own engine perches. Since I am a fabricator and master tech, and considering there isnt anything around here, and shipping on some would take a week, thats how Im going to roll it. I will roll stock manifolds for a bit, until i have finished most the body work, then Ill pull the engine and give it the goal horsepower I am wanting. Which will work better if I fabricate my own perches and not tear the engine compartment to ****

And as for headers, to start off, look on Mustang forums for someone selling a used set of Fox Body shorty headers, they will get you up and running, and I expect they may fall right in w/o any heatin & beatin
By the time I get to this stage with my crewcab, if I haven't found any longtubes that will work, I'll call my buddy that used to run an exhaust shop, and order up some stainless bends, and we'll do it the hard way (but the upside is, they will fit better than any "off the shelf" set)
