I have a fox housing that I will be swapping the brakes on to after I pick up a set of moser 31 spl axles, 31 spl carrier and 3.73s.
The swap was not that bad, You will need a harness and ecm from a 4.6 car and a 4.6 K-member. It would probably be more cost effective to stick with pushrod power and build up a 302 or 351 based engine. I used most of the stock parts that I removed from my Cobra for the build up.

I planned on sending the valve covers, blower, and timing cover to be powder coated, but I had to hurry up and get it running due to breaking the transmission in my coupe. So I'm daily driving it until my parts get here.
