Default 91 crown vic 5.0 into a 95 mustang V-6?

I'm looking to put a low mileage 5.0 from a 1991 crown vic into a 1995 Mustang V-6 car. Some of my questions are; Will the crown vic wire harness and computers bolt up to the must. and work without modifying them? Basically if I have the entire crown vic can it be a plug n play swap? Is the 95 must. key chipped to the fac. comp? Any help will be much appreciated!

Crown vic is a speed density car, as well as a lopo engine. That means different pistons, heads, intake, firing order, and thus cam. While you would be gaining torque, you would have the same power, and take a good bit of work put it to GT specs. the pistons have no valve reliefs, so you can fit a stock HO cam in it, but any more you need new pitsons (IIRC, its been a couple years).

Thanks for the info...I am doing a father-son's project with my kids 95 Must. I wonder if it's hard to run a carb. in that body? And does that apply to the 5.0 in my 99 explorer with Gt-40P heads?
