The '84 T-bird came with either a 2 barrel, 155 hp or CFI 140 hp 302. In either case, you would be better off to chuck the stock intake and install an aftermarket 4 barrel carb and manifold. Don't expect 5.0 Mustang performance from this 8.4 compression, flat tappet cam engine.
For what it is worth, you could swap in a late model Mustang 3.8 and get the same power and much better drivablility without the added weight. The last time I checked, you could buy a complete engine for well under $1,000.00.
