Questions On A 2.3 To 5.0 Swap

I just bought two convertible fox body mustangs. One of which is a 4cyl and the other is a V8. I bought them as a pair and got a really good deal. The V8(89') is pretty much wrecked. The reason i bought is was for the engine and tranny. I bought the 4cyl(88') to drop the V8 in. Now here is where my questions begin. Any tips will help. Thank you

1) Would I have to upgrade the suspension on the 4cyl to be able to handle the weight of the V8?

2) How much would it cost to have the engine, tranny, electrical, ecu, and exhaust swapped?

i dont know about your wiring since i have a 93 4 cyl but i think the trans cross member is different the front suspension can easily be removed along with the engine and trans by disconnecting the 8 bolts from the k member and rolling everything out
