RE: 390 from a 67 T-bird into a 67 S code Mustang

It depends on how the engine in the T-bird is configured and what you need for it to retrofit into the Mustang. For sure, the heads (as far as the exhaust port and bolt pattern) and exhaust manifolds are different between the 'Bird and Mustang. Not to say that you can't make the swap but the log manifolds from the 'Bird absolutely will not fit the unibody chassis. You can or may be able to re-drill the head's exhaust port for the unibody 14-bolt pattern exhaust but this would only be necessary if you intend on using the proper S-code manifolds. It gets rather complicated in the exhaust department and you'd have to tell us more about what you already have for the Mustang.

The engine itself is not entirely different so it is by no means a difficult prospect but there are considerations like the engine mount block adapters and rubber isolators, accessory drives and the like that need to be taken into consideration. I guess the real question is that can you just take the thing out of the T-bird and plop it into the Mustang with no muss or fuss? The answer is no. Some components do have to change. Again, nothing real difficult but it's not a direct swap. Your easy success will depend on how many of the unibody-unique parts you already have.
This thread, so far...
