Need help with engine swap

<!-- / icon and title --><!-- message -->
I got a call today about a well running 460 V8 with the tranny for only $500. So instead of rebuilding my 302 I am going to swap out the motor in the 1980 F-150. The question I have is this, where do I order all the mounts that I need for the tranny and the motor? Will I also need a new driveshaft for this thing?

What is the engine out of? Are you getting the trans too? Once these are answered you will get some real input. As it is your question is too vague for a real answer.
