Use the mounts I posted below, and you won't need to do that, also There are two brands of headers that you can use with zero clearance issues. Hedman 88400 and Patriot H8433. Swaps in a 1954-56 Ford will require the early front sump oil pan and timing cover used before 1980,the later 302/5.0's used a dual sump oil pan and have a driver's side dipstick which is what you want if the swap was going into a 1949-53 car.
