Default 5.0L in my mk1 capri

hihi
i have a 1974 capri gt, original 2.0l but now has a 2,8 V6 and a 5 speed, this is the only Capri in my country (Iceland) the thing is that I want to put a 5.0l ford (302) and ađ T5 in it, do you guys have any expirience, any pictures, information?
what do I need to do to fit the engine and gearbox, and what ađ about the rear axle?

Axle will be fine, the small block ford fits nicely.
Get a copy of PPC Practical Performance Car, as Will Holman the editor has this in his
mk1 capri, all the build etc can be followed from the website of PPC.
