Default just picked up my new notch!!

Just got a new notch a couple days ago. well its going to be my first pushrod mustang as well. its a 1990 lx notch chassis. it has a 10 point chromoly cage, and it has mini tubs. its going to be a big project as its just a chassis with no drivetrain or interior. the body is immaculate though with no rust or dings and a clean title. it is currently primered inside and out. but im looking for suggestions on what to put in it and how to lighten it even more. ive been told you can fit a 460 in it which had me thinking a 806 stroker but i didnt know if that would be overkill. or should i go with the normal 408 swap. should it be carburated or should i spend the extra money on fuel injection? what tranny should i run? im not very experienced with the fox's so i would love some input on what direction i should head with the car. thanks!
