Im preparing for the same build for my 69. Probably another 3 year project. Im working from the rear up. I plan on a 512 TFR headss and street friendly 10:1 comp.

You pretty much mentioned everything you will need. as far as motor mounts go I've heard 70 torino 429 mounts will bolt right into the 68/69's. Crites is the only place that I've seen for headers, you will need those or get custom ones made ($$$$$). The stock c4/c6 trans crossmember will work for the 460 unless you with an AOD, I beleive the stock one will work but you might have to move it back one hole or so.

Im having my 9" built up now, ordereing mosier 31 splines this weekend, after the rear end is in with new larger driveshaft, I'll put in big block front springs, larger brakes, and run new fuel lines with an electric pump. My 460 is already back from the machine shop, so i'll be ordering the rotating assembly soon.

You might want to consider making sub frame connectors to stiffen her up. I would also get larger sway bars (add one to the rear), and beefen up the shock towers, either with extra welds or supports to handle the new weight of the beast. They tend to sag anyway. I found a shock tower brace on ebay the other day for a 68/69, looked pretty good.

Our suspension is virtually identical to the stangs so the shelby mod works, however, I considered it but with an additional 2" drop on the front, It would put too much angle on the ball joint.

Good luck, show pics!
