Mounting it will be the tough part. Our 4.6 motors are huge for having such small displacement. I bet it would fit in the engine bay pretty nicely actually.

My advice, get back into reality, and understand how much work, time, and money that would cost.

Gas mileage would blow, and by time you got it done, you'd be putting one of these in the paper:

For Sale Mustang GT w/ 454 motor swap.
30K invested, must sacrifice for 15K
