I just checked Maximum Motorsports website.
The list two different k-members for a 5.0 motor. One for 79-95, and the other 96-03. So it looks like the k-member is different, so the motor might not bolt up. Unless you get the MM k-member, then it will definitely bolt in.

youll have to fab up your own motor mounts...or get someone to do it for you. unless you get the MM one....thats pretty cool, i just checked it out too...i didnt know they made one for that. and they make one for the 4.6 into a fox. damn thats pretty sweet.

Beside the wiring harness (both engine and chassis) and the different k-member, it also uses a completely different fuel system. You would have to run completely new fuel lines, as the 5.0 would require a return style fuel system, and the current mustangs run a returnless style. There is quite a few more things that would need to be changed, but it's a bit to early for me to think of them all.
