I have a 73 convertible mustang that is bone stock that I am tearing down. has a 351 Cleveland with auto tranny, soon to have a t5 tranny. I would like to change my suspension set up to make the car sit nice and level and keep the back from sagging.... Can someone tell me the best place to get what I need to do for the front and back suspension to get this look? Would you drop the fron and raise the back? and what size tires you would recommend also.

I would start with wheels and tyres. install them. see how that looks an then decide what needs to be lowered and how it should be lowered
check out dodgestangs page for plenty of pictures so you can decide on tyre wheel combo
You can as well check on your tyre's current diameter and if the new tyres will not change the diameter you can already see what it's gonna look like, but you need to consider width and backspacing if you change that as well

Stock mustangs had a 'nose in the air' stance with the front slightly angled up.
If the suspension ALL needs to be replaced it shouldn't be too hard to get the stance you want, I think the whole car needs to sit slightly lower than stock, which might even mirror what ever it looks like now with the worn out components.
Mid eye leaf springs in the rear, drop springs in the front, trim the coils to get to your final ride height you want, put in new upper and lower arms, add a roller perch, front sway bar, adjustable strut rods and you will have a new riding car. Spring rate selections and shock choice will have a lot to do on the driving style and desires for the cars feel so I left that out.
Add a set of 17s with 275 40 17 on the back and 235 45 17 on the front for a safe easy fit.
