I would check 5.0resto.com for fuel lines(if needed). I think it's pretty straight forward, motor/trans and whatever parts your using. headers, carb, ign, fuel, etc. The front brakes might be smaller than a v8 cars' but that wont hinder the swap any.

If you are going carb then i wouldn't worry about the fuel lines too much. You can use the 2.3 lines.
