i agree with coupe except with the stroker you will not be able to keep your old flywheel and damper most strokers are 28oz.

good time to put a nicer damper and flywheel on the car anyways.

i did a 351 swap into a coupe not too long ago. i found a 351 2v with the c-8 casting and bought it for 100 bucks. we ported the heads and re seated the valves and what not. put a torker 2 intake with a 650cfm carb and some bbk long tube headers which cost around 400 dollars. and we put a t-5 in it with a 4 cyl rear end still in it.

as far as headers go around 400-600, bucks but i could be wrong about the different body styles between the two.

That's exactly my point. When building a completely new motor, you're likely to buy new stuff even if you already had something that might work anyway.

Yeah, read his post again. Tommy was refering to the SN-95 body Mustangs. Apparently, there is only one type of header that fits well and they are very expensive.

I know they are diferent, but not sure exactly how. I'm only taking Tommy's word for the difference in header cost.

I too did the swap in a fox coupe and got my headers for just over $400 brand new.

seems like with a 900ish price tag one would be tempted to try doing your own.
