The new mustang has a great DOHC 5.0 V8. Any chance that might bolt into a Pantera or Mangusta?

Hopefully someone that has done the swap will comment on the actual swap costs.
My guess is the total cost is between $5000 and infinity depending on what motor and who does the work. The new 5.0 liter Mustang motor is available as a crate motor for $7,000 minus wiring harness ($1800) and maybe alternator.

I think Ford sells an ECU for use with this engine as a standalone install.

If my rebuild on my 351C came apart I would seriously consider doing a conversion like Scott's ZO6 Pantera. I know this is probably blasphemy to the true Pantera purist but I have always have had a fondness for the Chevy motor.
With that said, I guess going with anything besides a 351C would be blasphemy to a true Pantera purist even if it was a Ford modular.

Cool set up! Mount the super charger backwards and run it with a jack shaft?

To each his or her own. Modern tech is a Pantera is pretty cool. Some might consider it for fuel economy and drivablility. If you can get at least double the mileage with 444 hp and in a few years gas is equal to where it is in Europe that can be pretty attractive.

Do you have a picture of the front of your engine installed, clearance around the firewall etc?

Wonder what the weight difference is between it and the cast iron 351C
