Yes the engine will fit with stock 65 motor mounts. This will be a painless swap assuming that the car was originally a V8 car. If this is/was a 6 cyl car then you have some more work to do before you put a 302 between the shock towers. Unless your mustang is rare (K code or something along those lines) I would use the Boss engine without hesitation. The 4 bolt mains are just one of the advantages that will allow you to get a lot of power out of the engine safely (normal 289/302's are 2 bolt mains). Another thing to take into account, there might be someone out there with the Boss 302 that belongs to that engine-if that is the case, you could be sitting on a healthy sum of $ (its worth a fair amount either way).

It should 65s came with 289s and the 302 is basically the same engine.

oh yeah-but i would just stick with the 289 myself, to keep the classic more original and like it was when it was first built.
