Give advance adaptors a call. They have the motor mounts I know I have planning this for awhile myself Just bought the donor vehicl sunday so maybe this winter I will do mine. I was told that Advance adaptors also has a booklet to include other information (vague I am sure) on the swap good luck and let me know how it turns out.

I have been running a chevy 350 in my 89 XJ for almost a year now. As xjfanatc mentioned, Advanced Adapters makes most of what you need. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. On your list I will give you a heads up: drive drain is an AX15 but the shaft is replaced with a heavier duty large tooth spline where it meets the clutch (used on dodge dakotas), bellhousing from Advanced, both drivelines are different lengths because the 350 site further back than the 4.0, 3 inch lift is tight (i was on 3 inches and moved up to 4.5 for better clearance on steering components). I could ramble on but I have not had any problems other than with my wallet. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.
