Sounds to me like you already have a plan. Go for it. The 5.0 with a few minor differences is pretty much a bolt in. If you want discs and new suspension, that's the best way to go about it, do it all at one time ( the front anyway)

Then there's the old Granada/Monarch/ Versailles front and rear disc swap too. Roller 5.0's can be found in the 87-up full size cars and pickups, also the T-birds and Cougars, lincolns, etc. They're not just a Stang thing.
