65 F100 parts swap with 66 t bird

Good Afternoon,

New to the site, so I think I get a free pass on stupid questions. I am in the process of restoring a 1966 Thunderbird, and recently acquired a donor car. My totally unrestored 65 Ford F100 has a 6 cyl engine. Since I'll have a spare motor and trans, I would like to swap motor and trans from the t bird. I believe the motor will bolt in with motor mounts from a 352, but will I be able to find a bolt in cross member for the C6 trans? Any thoughts on whether or not the disc brakes from the 66 t bird will bolt on? I'm probably crazy taking on two projects at the same time, but the F100 needs some love! :wavey:

No clue, but hopefully someone will chime in.....and welcome to the site!
 
Thanks. There is some very good information in the forums!
I should probably clarify that I want to drop a 1966 390 with a c6 trans into the 65 F100 with the 6 cylinder.
