Headers, engine mounts and the big one is the transmission &/or bell housing. If it was built using a T-45 for a 4.6 the transmission’s integral bell won’t mate to a pushrod engine. If it was built with a 3650 or r TKO the trans could be used but the bell housing would have to be changed.

How hard is it to remove the body on am MK3?

Remove:
Doors
Hood
Trunk lid
Sidepipes
Bumpers
Roll bars
Windshield
Splash panels
Radiator aluminum
Disconnect light wiring and wipers if applicable
Remove 4 bolts in the nose
Remove 4 bolts down each side
Raise the rear, go forward, raise the front and take it away!

I can go from complete car to body off in about 2-3 hours—-but I’ve done it a hundred times. All that said it is possible to R&R engine with the body on.
