FE in a Fox body?

FE in a Fox body?
I was out looking at my truck today, and I'm not entirely sure I want to put the nice clean new 390 into that old rust heap. I like it, but it's got 3 things going against it:
1. Rust
2. Weight
3. Lack of rear traction
So I figured, the thing to do would be to drop it on, er, in, an '80's mustang. There's loads of 'em around here for fairly cheap. And they're light enough.
My question is this:
Does ANYONE make a kit to drop an FE into an '80's Fox body mustang?

Specifically, I think all I really need is motor mounts and a transmission adapter. What transmissions were in that vitage of mustang, and will they hold up to a 400hp 390?
