Default 08 gt build

Hey guys, i just picked up an 08 mustang gt project car, got it as a rolling chassis, no engine, tranny or interior.
My plan is to put a 5.0 engine and 6speed tranny from a newer gt. Has anybody done this swap? Anything to watch for?
And for the interior do you guys know of a good place to get things like the head liner and dash? Im trying to find one that's been totalled so i can just swap everything to my car, i was just curious what good sites or stores you guys recommend checking out for this build. .
Thanks guys

If you wait a bit, Ford Racing is offering the whole swap as a package.

Yeah, that Chinese-made MT82 6-speed tranny. It's a piece of junk.
