| Not me. |

I know the '71-'73 Mustang changed a little in the engine bay area compared the the earlier cars, but you might be able to fit that combo in there. It'd be a cool transplant, if you ask me.
The biggest pitfall with headers is they come in two header-flange styles. I'm not talking bolt positions (that's easy to fix), I'm talking about port position as referenced between the head and header (this can be a little tougher to adjust and still fit into the engine bay).
Make sure there is no port mismatch between the heads and the headers when you bolt them together. If there is a 5/16" mismatch, then you've got the wrong style head for the selected header and you'll have leaking gaskets and poor exhaust flow.
Also, if push comes to shove, avoid using the 390 unibody type exhaust manifold (sometimes called the 390GT exhaust manifold), as they don't flow well at all. 428CJ manifolds are fine, though I don't know whether they fit.
I suspect Crites Restorations has some answers for you, too.
