I googled this phrase - "2002 mustang v6 to 4.6" - and it came back with 597,000 results. I think that's the best place to start. You have to read a lot, and if there are any specific questions you have, it has probably already been answered.
BTW, LMR put a Coyote into a new edge, so they've actually helped to blaze the trail for you in that regard.
In the end, you're putting a heavier, more powerful engine into the car. You'll probably have to replace the rear end, and upgrade the suspension as a result of the V8 engine swap.
