I put a 59 430 Lincoln in my 1937 ford coupe. It has a FE bellhousing and adapter to fit the 1995 Mustang T5 manual transmission. It will be street driven only. I have has it running to break in the reground cam(1969 428 CJ specs hydraulic). I do have a 6x2 weiand intake to install at a later date.
