RE: Alright! 1964 is something I can't.

That'll be a toughie.

The Mustang engine bay is sorta cramped for those early-style heads. In 1966, the first year of emissions controls for the FE, the head was redesigned with extra exhaust manifold mounting bosses (and smaller "emissions" runners) which made it easier to remove and attach exhaust manifolds to the engine. Your large-runner 1964 heads will work great in a Galaxie or pickup, but will be a tough act in a Fairlane or Mustang.

Also, your block has only two bosses cast in for attaching motor mounts. Four bosses was the norm from 1965. You'll have to play around a little to get the motor mounts to work right.

Also, your block may or may not have the "alternator boss" cast in at the front-passenger side near the outside deck. I don't recall the cutoff date for this feature. FE blocks from '65-later are always a little easier to play with on later model cars.
