Theres a wrecking yard in Oakland that sell 5.0Ls complete with Hpipe and i think you can also get a transmission.
They sell them for people making Cobra Builds. Its been over 10 years since i bought my 5.0L from them so i am not sure they are still there and i don't remember the name of the yard. They had a lot of Mustang parts though.

personally I'd look for a roller 5.8L from a `95 and later truck, couple of small mods and it would make much better power and have a better powerband in a rockrig than a 5.0 from a mustang.
