If your going v8 a carbed 5.0 could possibly work with the t45 tranny you currently have but you would want to beef up the rear to a 8.8 minimum. I'm not sure if the motor mounts would need adaptors or not.
Do your research and decide which would be cheaper and more reliable. also keep in mind that an engine older than your model year vehicle is illegal (federal law) to be swapped into your car and street driven. My Blazer will need an LS1 or another 4.3 v6 if I want to sell it or if I move to an emissions state.

t45 trannys do not bolt up to 5.0 or anything other than 4.6s.....V6 mustangs of that year have a T5, but its not the same T5 found in the older 5.0 cars.
The list is this:
Engine
Transmission
Rear End
K Member for whatever application you decide to run
Custom swap headers
Custom tranny mounts/crossmember
Custom driveshaft needs to be made
An ass of odds and ends too
you will no longer have gauges that work, so you will have to buy other gauges (auto meter) to have funtionability.
Im doing my swap with more race that street in mind, so I have a lot of other expensive shit that im doing, but those things listed are just the basics to make it happen.
