Fitting the engine and box into the engine bay is fairly easy, but the fun starts with things like manifolds, plenums, steering shafts and servos.
Read the M50 conversion sticky thread at the top of this forum for a start.

bigest issues from what iv seen on here are:
exhaust - foules steering so custom one is needed
custom set of engine and box mounts
shorter propshaft?
throttle bodies will foul brake servo.
wireing - lots of
then plenty of plumbing
read this as its been covered before mate.
