5.0 into 91 ranger swap questions!!

[Kingkoala92]

ok here it is.
I have a 91 swb ranger with a 2.3l lima and a m5od-r1 5 spd
im in the beginning stages of swapping the powertrain from a
wrecked 95 5.0 t5 (I have whole car)
I am going to try and "retrfit" as much from theustang as I can
and after doing alllot of reaserch I still have some questions

I amgoing with some try y headders because they seem like the
best choice. is there any clearence issues?
whats better as motor mounts? are the vert or the v 6 w plates better?
and if I use the convertable mounts where do I need to drill the holes
in the crossmember?

I have heard that there is some clearence issues with the t5 bell housing hitting
the fire wall but never been told where. any info?

that's all I can think of at the moment any insight will be greatly appreciated!!
thanks
Justin!

The T5 belhousing doesn't come close to the firewall.

Here's a pretty gross old shot with my original exhaust, but you can see the cylinder heads under the firewall. Ton of clearance.

And if there were any clearance issues by some freak situation, it's be nothing a good 4# sledge coud fix.

And not all Tri-Y's are the same. There are a bagillon companies that make them, all of which have slight differences.

I've only done one v8 ranger but using the convertable mustang mounts it was easy it fit in with no modications
