:SNSign: hows it going?

well i just have a few questions, im looking into doing a swap to my 96 mustang coupe. now ill be getting a 4.6 dohc 6bolt crank motor from about a 98 lincoln mark 8, now my questions are:

1) will it fit to the stock k member all i do is get v8 mounts?

2) is there anything on the motor i have to change over?

3) will the wiring harness and comp from the lincoln work, or one from a sohc mustang?

4) will the 3.8 t5 hold up to it for a little

5) how can i tell if i have a 8.8 it sure does look like one but i just want to be 100% sure?

6) is the hydroboost system hard to install?

7) if theres anything else i should be awear of?
