If you are going to do this from scratch I would sugest that you upgrade to a 3g alternator now instead of later. Also, when you DO put head lights in, wire in relays for the them instead of having the power run through the light switch.

I got mine from a 94 Mustang GT for $45. New, they are over $200
It bolted right in. I had to change the pulley, because I'm still running V-grooves. You don't use the external fan, 'cause the 3G has an internal fan.
If you get one from a Taurus, more than likely you'll have to modify the mounting bracket as they have 8 1/2" between mounting holes.
Here a site where someone installed one in a '80s Stang:
