Default Need Help Dropping In A V8

I bought an 85' stang with a four banger. Its a fixer upper but, for $200 I couldnt pass it up. Two days later I puchase an 85' ltd crown vic with a 302. Then a really bright light started to blurr my vision all i could see was a very fast notchback. I heard it was gonna be a task. so , it sounded like fun. I stared buying MM&FF mags. I read an article that explaind how to do the swap. At the time I wasnt intreasted, now I am and I cant find any material on a swap , other than it can be done.

The LTD has a TBI, and the Stang has a carb. I was told I need an intake manifold and a carb for the 302. to avoid most of the wiring. Thats easy for me to get. I work at AUTOZONE .
The Stang needs body work also but I'm gonna get the Stang on the road, so I can pull the engine on the lead sled. I'll worry about the body a little later. I was looking at the motor mounts, right now is the only thing throwing me off right now.
I have a little knowledge on working on cars I just never did a swap.
Accidently found this site. I'm glad I did, so far this is the best site I have found. ITS PRETTY COOL.
