engine swapping

Hello all,
I have been on this board but it's been a while. I am restoring a 68 Mustang GT 390 coupe w/4sp transmission. I noticed an engine knock and pulled the engine. The engine in the car is a 64 390 hipo block, which I don't necessarily have a problem with, except it doesn't mount the same way a correct engine would. It has these custom solid mounts and I would like to go back to an original setup.

My question is this. If I can't find a 390 out of a 67 or 68 Mustang, can I use one from a Galaxie/Fairlane/Thunderbird/LTD/Montego etc?. Would those have the correct mounting system or be adaptable to my car?

Thanks for your input, folks.

Dale
