Looks like you have a 99-04, so you'd probably be better off sticking with a modular swap. Pick up a GT wiring harness and PCM and you can pretty much just drop in a 2v. You can also mod that harness to drop in a 4v too. I recently swapped a mark8 motor into an 01 GT. It was a pretty simple swap.
Speaking of which, I still have a fairly low milage P.I 4.6 2v that I need to sell
Now, If you wanted to drop a 5.0l based set up, your best bet would be to find a wrecked 94-95 GT for donor parts (or an entire swap). Swap the K member, wiring, fuel lines (they are return stlye), tank. Pretty much EVERYTHING from a 94-95.

There is a lot of potential in a mark swap. The car just has to be set up right.
The car I recently swapped the mark motor into runs
CONSISTANT 12.3's @ 111, all motor, without powershifting. I'm pretty sure there's a little more in in too. The zoom clutch is not liking herd launches on slicks and slips/flares on the shifts. Once I put a clutch in it and the car gets powershifted It will hopefully hit an 11.99
Thats with boltons, exhaust, slicks, and 4.56 gears (ran 12.47 @ 109 with 4.10s)
So with all that bieng said.....X2 on a 4v swap!
