If you don't have a lot of experience with vehicle customization it will probably be cheaper for you to just buy a new Mustang GT than to try and have a custom BMW with the coyote motor. But good luck if you go through with it.

Take measurements of the engine bay of the BMW first. It came with an inline 6 and you would be trying to put a DOHC V8 motor in it. Just to give you a comparison, a 302 pushrod motor is almost 1' less in width than the 4.6 modular. This would require extensive sheet metal work on a classic mustang that the 302 fit in to make the new motors fit. If the measurements check out and you are not up to spending 10K on getting a 4.6 or a new 5.0 into the car, you can put a 302 in it with a carburetor much easier.

like code3GT said, putting in a 4.6L 2 valve from the 97 mustang wouldn't be worth the hassle. Those engines require major modification and big $$$$ to be any good, you'd have to send the engine to some place to get new Heads, cams, intake, forged parts, some form of forced induction (turbo or supercharger). the stock engine supercharged would get you close to a bolt on 5.0 though.

I'd be amazed if you could get an OHC engine in your engine bay w/o major work. The dvd must go into how to cut into and expand the engine bay to fit it. hope you have welding and cutting tools.. you can put just about any engine into any vehicle, it just depends on how much time and effort you want to put into it. The coyote engine is really big.

That's no joke. First thing I thought when popping the hood was "that is one big mother****er."
