You'd need a new distributor though, one from an 85 Mustang GT 5-speed, or at least a hardened steel gear for your stock distributor would need to be pressed on.

actually,, the lower dizzy gear is held on with a roll pin that passes through the center of the shaft and the gear neck. The hole drilled for the roll pin is off center. ,,, meaning, the gear can be pressed on one half a turn backwards ,,or 180deg out. If the shaft is clean and the interior of the dizzy gear is clean, the gear will slide on without the need of a press.

I like your train of thought. But atleast for now I'm trying to keep top-end costs down so I'll likely go with the intake and carb off an 83 or so Mustang and some heads from a 89 and up Mustang or F150. I'll be checking the local syard tomorrow.
