88 5.0 engine swap?


I currantly have a 1998 mustang 3.8L v-6 and plan on dropping in a 5.0L motor that i am in the final stages of assembly. I was wondering if anybody has tried to do this swap before that has any information on what exactly needs to be changed. I know the obvious like motor mounts but i have heard that the engine crossmember might also need to be changed? Also i am building the motor from the block up and was wondering if there is somewhere i can get the complete ecu and wireing harness, sensors, and ignition components as a package so i know everything will work together. Any info on the subject is helpful ,, thanks
