First timer mustang project


Hey all, my name is AJ this is my first post, as well as my first mustang build.
I've been mostly into Jeeps, but a wrench is a wrench and a bolt a bolt right...
Long story short I was doing a job for this guy ( when I was in the construction business ) and he paid me half cash and half trade off. For 500 bucks I got a 90 fox with no rust all straight, manual transmission. Power windows, locks, cruise etc etc. Here's the bad: it's the 2.3 Here's the better: Went on Craigslist tonight and found a 302 HO rebuilt painted no grease with high rise manifods and 4bbl carb... with a c6 tranny.... and a 9" rear end... all for $600
I called and asked him to remove the posting, not even trying to barter.
Found out he also has a set of custom 2" headers he'll throw in for $50. STEAL
So after putting in a new carpet, a set of leather racing seats ( no idea what brand, but they have the mustang logo embroidered in the headrest ), all new alpine sound system and a grant steering wheel, I can proudly say it won't just look fast anymore.....soon.

Here's what I don't have: I don't know what else I need and what I need to watch out for to perform this swap, going from a efi to carb should be farely easy, gas and spark. I'm thinking mounts, shorter driveshaft, linkage, and braking system upgrade. What am I missing?
Any help is appreciated

Thanks
