i have done this swap

you will have to change the motor mounts and the clearance to the
hood will be very close

the bolt pattern to the transmission will also be different and you you need a larger bell housing to fit the windsor

honestly you would be better off spending your money on a 302 0r your 289 with upgrades

parts are cheaper and more readlily available
