T-bone: your either off by a lot on the torque figure, or you made a typo.
My '97 Tbird w/ the 4.6 2V is rated at 205 HP and 280 #'s of torque.
This is the exact same engine the Mustangs use, and the Mustangs extra 10 HP comes from a better exhaust.
So w/ the better exhaust, I think the Mustang probably has more along the lines of 285-290#'s of torque.
Ohh yea,here's a little FYI: along the lines of the head swap, you can get the 5.4L truck heads which are the same as the '99 up 4.6 heads for about half the price. They are complete w/ cams and all the stuff.
