Going from a 68 block/67 head to a 78 block/head there were a few things changed but not too difficult to find, except my fan pulley was 5/8" too large (I don't think it came on a mustang)

Firing her up for the first time: releived
guy at the car wash guessed 351: Made my day
hot shot who had to see the engine whom didn't think it's a 200: worth every penny
Shine+show looks on ppl's faces when they realized it's a 200: Priceless
