Note the rear leaf springs. It's a 4-cyl.


For some reason I thought the SWB's were all leaf sprung, but the V6's got coils too then.

Federico, what part of WA are you in?

You could run a carb and do less work. To clear the Ford trans, you'll need a body lift or reworking the tunnel cover.

Also, here is another thread on this topic:

There was a dude that put a mustang 5.0 FI motor in an 87/88 SWB about 15-20 years back, so yes its possible. He ran it for a while then put it into storage and sorta disappeared so not a lot of info exists other than we know he did it and posted pics that have since gone away.
