I concur with 4nomore. Find a donor car because you are going to have to swap out the entire driveline, suspension and all. The tranny won't stand up to a 5.0 for long and the rear axle is a 7.5. I've used a 7.5 behind a 351C/C-6 for a while now and it's still there but I keep waiting for it to frag. I found a wrecked 84 GT for 50 bucks for my swap. It saved me a BUNCH of bucks not having to buy all the parts individually. Good luck.
