Motor swap

Ok, I'm going a motor swap for a friend. Well this swap has really been kicking my ass. The motor came out of a 95 and going into a 96. Come to find out the mounts are different which would explain why I can't seem to get it to sit in place. Ok now are there any differences in the motors that would cause the mounts not to fit?

they changed K-members between 95 and 96

94-95 V6/GT/Cobra are the same

96-04 V6/GT/Cobra/Mach 1 k-members are the same
Right I got that much. Are the block any different that the mounts will not work from year to year?

You should be able to use the old mounts on the new engine.
the 96 mounts will work fine on the 95 block
I just finished my v8 swap into my 2006 v6 and I know your pain dude. I hit just about every freaking road block you can think of. Keep your head up.

how is the front suspension holding up? does it sit extremely low or does it hold the v8 pretty well?
Well it's not looking good. It seems as though the motor mounts will not fit.
