Yes, no spacer. You will need a modified bracket to run panther cables. Or just run mustang cables.
As for injectors, I would stick with anything Ford Racing. I just picked up a set of 39lb 03 svt cobra injectors. I plan on using the ford racing adapters. I bought them new. I'm not interested in used injectors, they've given me issues in the past. Unless I've seen them in action prior, I don't want them. That way if I change my mind down the road on injectors, I don't have to rewire the harness. The 24lb injectors are barely adequate for a modified HO with decent flowing heads, intakes and cam.
DO NOT BUY THE SUMMIT THROTTLE BODY. They are not sealed and cause vacuum leaks, and ultimately tuning issues. BTDT. I have a nice BBK throttle body on Vicky. Works great. And if you have an access to a Thain or a machine shop, they can modify the box bell crank to fit the after market throttle body.

Gone! But Parts from it will live on in others!
If you run fox cables, you can run the supplied bell crank for throttle body.

I did not realize that the Mustang cables are the same as the Mark VII cables but it certainly makes sense.
Funny of all things I never really owned a mustang. Did salvage/flip a Mustang II and a 4 eye fox but didn't do more then debug/drive them.

Go Time! Any suggestions on Cam-eage? AFR 165s, 'Sploder block bored .030 over with upgraded connecting rods.
Been seeing XE270HR & NX264HR recommendations.
Engine will be done in 2 weeks at most so decision is needed immediately. Obviously torque is tantamount with the car weighing 1k more than a Mustang. Any suggestions?
I've been pretty satisfied with my XE258 but my heads are rather less than what you're going with.

Both John and I have had good luck with the 270 in multiple similar engine builds. I’m sure Lunati and other cam companies have winners too. That’s just our only real world experience. The XE264 could also be a little more tame, but we don’t really have any low end torque issues with the 270
