It should just bolt right in if you want to run carb'd. If you want to convert to EFI then you will need to do a bit more work.

If the Car is a STICK, then you'll need a bracket for the clutch equalizer to bolt to. I think "Windsor-Fox" (Here ) sells them. 5.0's used cables... Diminsionally, a 289 and 302 are the same externally. There are some differences, though. You'll need the balancer and flywheel/flexplate that matches whatever engine you get (28oz/50oz)
