Default make my own 5.0?

Let me start by saying hey, i've been out of the stang craze for about 2 years! I tried the LT1 on for size in a 95 formula, but it tore up....IMAGINE THAT! I hate GM for making that junk I owned, so now I've got a reliable (slowww) honda and I'm thinking about turning an old fox body 4 cyl into a 5.0 car. My friend is in the process of building one, so I have most of it covered when I decide to do it. I know that i need an 8.8 (covered), a 5.0 from a junkyard to build($$$), and a tranny, besides springs and a clutch, am I forgetting anything?

If your wondering why do this, in North Alabama a ragged out JUNK Stang sales for about $3,500 to $4,500, then there is the rebuild on top of that, and I'm sure I can get out much cheaper with my friend's wholesale hook-up- just wondering if any one has attempted this? thanx!
