Default 4.0L V6 to 5.0 Coyote

Hello!
Ever since I got my 2008 V6 mustang I've bee wanting to work on it. I decided that I would love to modernize the car.
I like the idea of merging the S550 into my S197. I am fairly new to the whole car scene, I know engine swapping, changing the ECU and making the harness is a difficult task.
I would like some tips and ideas on how I could work up and prepare myself for this type of build. I would greatly appreciate any help to start off the build with simple modifications and guidance to make my way up to the complete engine swap as well as transmission from auto to manual.
Thank you all!

Why make your Mustang a run of the mill 5.0? If I were going to go through the big money it would take to install a 5.0, I would be looking at Ford crate engines. I would probably go with a 427, just to be different . Do what you want, this is just what I would do
