99 3.8 A swap 5.0 M info

I'm swapping my 3.8 automatic to a 5.0(89 302) manual. I've got a lot of questions on what all my car will need so if you can think of anything let me know. First order of business would be my radiator. What should I buy?

Are you going carburetor or EFI ?

You should be able to use the radiator from a 4.6 mustang your same year.

It will be fuel injected. Not sure what all I will need for that too. And thanks for the inpu in the radiator. I've got some cash stashed I'm gonna start ordering this weekend. Any other things I will need?

Do you have the motor and trans yet?
If so what do you have or what is it out of?

Yes I have a motor. And trans. It's out of a late 80's foxbody 5.0 n t5 trans. The car I have now is a 3.8 and an automatic
