i've got a friend who did a conversion just like this to his v6 mustang. he dropped in an '01 cobra engine though. his name is ken and he can be found at speedconcepts.net

btw, the 95 had the 5.0L in it still.

k-member works for sure.

you will however need a trany, driveshaft,wiring harness for th emotor ecu for the motor and other small dumb things.

is it a 5.0 or a 4.6?

95's are still 5.0's .The 4.6 didnt come in the cobra to 96..

Might want to check the K memeber, I was told a while back that I would need a different one when I was going to swap a 5.0 in my 98? I could very well be wrong though.
Like Spike Said, you will need ECU, wiring harness, tranny, I am assuming you bought the whole Cobra so swap the 8.8 in, driveshaft, the 7.5 rear won't last long, new gauge cluster (you can use the v6 one, but it will be off).
