Any way you can! There are several options. There are companies that sell motor mounts for swaps, there are solid motor plates, and the backyard bonus that I have used is to find a donor Ford car that uses a crossmember with mounts on it, cut it out, weld angle clips on each end and weld or bolt it to your frame rails. Don't forget a trans mount, bigger radiator, exhaust mods, carb linkage mods, driveshaft mods, and so on. Good luck.
