I'd go with the 4.6 3 valve. Can run 87 octane for 5 less hp. Had a CAI on my '05' GT and then dyno tuned to run on 87 octane. Got just over 290 RWHP and got 25-27 mpg.
Best check out the wiring diagram for the Mustangs, the later ones have the CPU up front on passenger side, not back on the firewall like the Rangers. That would mean a lot of wiring. Think even the 3 valve headers might clear everything, could measure/take picture to make sure.

If you want to want to save yourself a bunch of headaches, find a low milage donor vehicle. That way you'll have most everything you'll need, instead of having to piece it all together.
