Default newbie looking at superformance

First off, I would like to say this is a well organized website.

that said,

I am looking into buying a superformance mkiii, but I am partial to chevy engines. I particuarly like the world castings 454 sbc. I have two of them already. One in a 57 chevy post, and one in a 32 ford highboy roaster. It's a monster. the 57 dynoed at 473 rwhp. and 478 rwtq. plus, it's a reliable engine too. I use the 57 daily and travel with it every few months. Ive had the 454 in the 57 for a year and a half and the only problem ive had is having to adjust the carb for altitude when i drove to sedona AZ. roughly 3000 miles. however, fuel economy is not one of its strong suits. it'll average 6 to 11 mpg.

anyway, I would like to know if swapping the motor mounts would be a daunting task. I know nothing of ford engines so i'm going to need some advice so i can decide weather to drop in the engine myself or get sombody to do it for me. thanks in advance.
