Default 68 coupe v6 to v8?s

I have a 68 mustang that is a 6 cylinder auto and I am planning on swapping it to a v8 manual, havnt decided on either 302 or 351w. I am looking for engine swap opinions and what i need in order to do the swap. I am very mechanically inclined and I am wondering what need swaped suspension wise and what not. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

There is a way to swap pretty much anything except a Boss 429 into a 68. You can put anything from a 260 OHC from a 65 Ford, to a Chevy 350, to a Modular engine.

you will have to change the brakes, spindles, shocks, springs, radiator, and there's a couple of things I'm forgetting. . ..
