if it just died, take your ignition control module and coil in to the 'Zone and have them test it. that problem sounds all too familiar.
so. . .will the car turn over, but just not fire??

i thought that if you blew rings, that you blow a gang of smoke and the car will still run, but just not good. your car isnt starting, so IMO i think its the ignition control module .....let us know

On a 5.0 mustang, if the boost levels are too high, the production 2 bolt engine block will distort and blow head gaskets.

+1 do a compression test. Also, I would double check your intake ducting to make sure nothing came loose

YOU CAN SEE THE SPARK COMING FROM THE COIL AND THE WIRES LIKE THEY WERE SEE THROUGH OR SOMETHING COULD THIS CAUSE IT NOT TO START

to save money just replace the wires, cuz obviously youre getting spark from the coil. the spark is grounding somewhere apparently, so dont touch the wires while the car is on until you change those wires or else youll feel like this
