My mate has done a TE with a 302 and a TD with a 351. He hasn't changed the steering in any of them

The Clevelands go into the TC-TD Ok different engine bays to the TE-TF's.
The Windsors are a better fit in the TE-TF's. A pic of my sons TE with a 302 Windsor. Cars for sale to

Castlemaine rod shop and Mark Dall'aqua conversions do engine mounts, which are same for clevo and windsor. High energy do a good sump off the shelf. You might have to bend the bracket that holds the booster to fit clevo. If your using a C4 everything else bolts up(trans c/member,tailshaft). The only problem is extractors, you can buy off the shelf for clevo into TC-TD, but not TE-TF. Mine has had some tri-y's with inch and a half primaries made that go between the sump and chassis rail but is an ultra tight fit. Soon i'll have to cut the inner guards to be able to run some bigger primaries to suit the stroker. As for the 5 stud, pull the rear axles and take them to a diff shop or the like and get them re-drilled to ford five stud. this will cost around $100 an axle. For the front get yourself some XA coupe' rotors and wheel bearings, and two pairs of HQ holden bearings and HQ calipers. Using the XA disc needs a HQ inner and XA outer(could be other way around) to mount to the cortina spindle and i believe the caliper bolts straight on.
