Hey from Finland.
Answers to your questions:
1.Yes you could use drysump. In theory but you dont have room for the drysump pump and would need to find good place for oiltank. Going with GT500 would be easier way. But would need low profile oil pan. Or modified the original.
2. Not sure about trans. I think does not fit. I would not use that anyway. Would go with 6 speed manual.
3. Never seen that kind of headers for sale.
Fitting that 4 cam, 83cm wide engine to Mustang engine compartment is not easy task. It wide and tall. Not much room for headers, all depends your suspension. Need all room you can get so need eliminate the shock towers.
I know because Im building an '69 Fastback with 5.4 supercharged SuperSnake engine to customer. With custom build 6 speed.
We have Detroit Speed Aluma Frame with straight inner fenders (no towers) and still needed to move engine 100mm back and build own headers to get past upper control arm brackets. Frame rails play big role. Not so much room as in GT. I know that too, imported one (2005) to Finland some years ago. There is way more room around the engine in that chassic.
Intake: best would be just to make new one facing forward. It would not be so big deal. Again GT has more room so any intake for that would came through the hood in Mustang. Easier to use front mount intercoolers to get best air flow and lower intake manifold.
There is many aftermarket ECU for that engine but not to 6 speed automatic. Maybe it can be done with one ECU to engine and one stand alone controller to trans.
Hope this will help.
