I have a 65 Fastback Mustang that originally was a 6 cylinder car. It is well on its way to being a shelby clone car and I have received it and plan on making it a restomod...I know there are alot of Ford guys on this board so I need to tap into your years of knowledge to help me answer some questions I have about what the heck some of this stuff is... In the first picture there is a small brace under the tower to firewall brace. Is this brace suppose to be there and if so why is it just hanging underneath? Here is the pic..

What kind of frame mounts are these for? Will they work for any small block ford ie 302??

This is the last one. I have discs in the front and drums in the rear. It is NON POWER so why is there a adjustable prop valve going to the rear?

That is a stock export brace mount. They were like that on '65-'66 Mustangs.

The rubber and engine side of the motor mount is missing. No big-blocks were ever offered in the '65-'66 Mustangs, and all SBF engines share the same mount. So your 302 will fit. But if you need new motor mounts, have a look at these polyurethane motor mounts from TCP (http://www.totalcontrolproducts.com/motormounts.html).
