He's better off dropping the motor in without trying to change the front cover etc. and making custom mounts.

If he makes a small cradle at the back of the engine bay then he can use the stock FD mounts. The front cover from a 1st gen probably won't work. I know that the front cover from a 2nd gen causes fitment problems with the oil pan.
