Default 302 to 460 Swap

I previously own a 93 Mustang GT without a 302 and tranny. While looking for a 302 motor and trans, i stomped upon a 460 motor. Motor is complete.

My question is - What else is needed to install this motor and how would I mount up a t5 tranny to it?

Sorry if this is the wrong section to post this.

Well,you would need engine swap mounts,headers,oil pan,pick up tube.I believe Motorsport and some others make a kit to do that.I have done one, but it was along time ago.The engine fits surprisly well.I think you use the same crossmember,just have to grinds the weld if is so.For the transmission you could look into a Lakewood bell housing and see if they make a conversion bell housing.I know that they make a C-4 bell housing to put one behind a big block.Just use a 4 cylinder throttle cable as they are longer and will reach with a little slack.
