I think your cheapest and easiest bet would be to find a wrecked v8 car and do the swap yourself.  All the required parts would be there and you would see exactly how they are installed to make it a snap to do for you. I would do the swap stock for stock just to get it running and driving, do the body work, and then upgrade to performance parts to build your perfect mustang. Hope this helps.

I concur. If you're going to stay with the fuel injected setup, that is the easiest way, or you'll have to find the parts piece by piece. You're going to need the engine,trans, and rear end and everything in between, along with the engine and body wiring harnesses. The V8 cars use different sway bars and brakes which you'll need to stop your now more powerful vehicle as well.

If you're going with a carburetor, you only need the drivetrain and suspension parts.
