questions about older ford 12v conversion

[JVasich]

i recently purchased a 95 12v eng & 5speed 4x4 trans to put in a 72 down ford f-series. while the motor is out i am going to pull the front cover for the dowel pin replace waterpump and t-stat and drop the pan to check the rod and main bearings. what else to check while it is out? also what radiator and intercooler to run? or will me stock 351m rad cool it. and what alternator to use ford or the dodge. this will be going down on a 78 f250 frame so were is the best place to get motor mount kit. i just want to get as much of the peices together over winter that i mite need. i appreciate any help i can get on this.

I am doing a 76 two wheel drive. I used stock Dodge mounts from Napa. The angle on the main cross member was a perfect match. All I had to do was drill the bolt holes and put a 1/2" shim under the drivers side mount to get perfect side to side alignment.

Some folks on here have used the stock Ford Radiator on there swaps, But I dont have the room. The 93 rad will slide between the rad mounts with some mods. Thats the route I'm going.

I am now in the misc details after the Engine in place phase so I am figuring things out as I go too.
