Default V8 Swap

I have a 93 mustang with a very un-impressive 2.3L 4 banger. I also have a 302 that I want to swap into it. I'm not going to be running fuel injection on the 302 so I don't think I have to keep the computer. The car is a base model LX hatchback without power anything. I've never attempted a swap like this before and was wondering if anyone could give me some pointers. Things like what suspension upgrades I have to make, are there any modifications needed in the engine bay and will the speedo and tach that came from the factory work if I ditch the computer? I know this is not something that can be enswered in 100 words or less, but maybe someone could at least point me in the right direction and maybe give me some reference material to look up. Thanks in advance.
