Default 1999 V-6 Conversion

I have the opportunity to pick up a 1999 V-6 coup. I have an '89 with a well built 347 SBF. Has anyone done the conversion to a SBF in a S-197 body? I would like to transplant my 347 and C-5 into the "99 and would like to know beforehand what to look out for. I suspect that it will come with (I have not seen this car yet) a 7.5" rear end so I think right up front I am going to go to a 9". But what about the cross body member and motor mounts fit to my 347 setup? Driveshaft length? Althought I suspect that I will have a aluminum one built forthe car. Any info from someone who has done this conversion will be very helpful.

If you are looking to put that 347 SBF into a '99 body, you might want to check out the forums for the SN95, or the general v-6 vorums on this site. The S197 bodystyle is 2005+

Thanks. I guess I stand corrected on the body style. Not use to the newer Mustangs. Thanks.
