I hope I don't sound mean for saying this, but if you haven't ordered the engine yet, don't. It is a great engine, but it simply doesn't fit in the earlier Mustangs without a lot of work. You will need to remove the shock towers, get an aftermarket front suspension that will accommodate the motor, and then you will need to relocate the master cylinder because the heads are so wide. After that you will be left with an engine that will stick up above the tops of the fenders meaning that you will need a big raised hood, and it will have to be custom since the intake for the superchargers stretches over the driver side cylinder head, and sits really high as well. Oh, and then you will need the Ford engine control pack for it as well as a fuel pump for fuel injection. If you're changing the transmission you will probably need to cut up the tunnel as well.
I tried to do this once, and it wasn't a good idea. I hope this gives you an idea of how much work is involved before you start spending money and realize it will cost twice as much as you previously thought.
