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

If you want to do the FE swap it isn't that difficult......we just need to know what you have already and what you are willing to spend in both money and labor. Nothing is too difficult at all but it is not a direct swap (as was stated before).
My opinion would be to just rebuild the small block or get a crate engine especially if the T-bird 390 you have is in need of a rebuild. Don't get me wrong....I have a pretty nicely built 390 in my '67 Cougar and wouldn't get rid of it......but it came with a 390 and I felt it was "the right thing to do" to keep it a FE. Rebuilding an FE right is rather expensive compared to a Windsor and it is harder to find qualified engine builders/machinists to do the work you may need.
I am not trying to steer you away from the project.....just letting you know there may be a downside. On the upside........the power of a well built FE and the "ooooohhhhh factor" when you pop the hood can far outweigh any headaches you may encounter.
