I am going to pull the 390 outta my 63 and drop either the 351C or the 3.8 V6 that I have into it.
I suspect the 351 will be the easier swap.Does anyone have information on what special items may be needed to accomplish either swap. I am hoping there is a kit of some kind for this.

The first problem you will run into is the bellhousing. The 390 uses the FE pattern which is very different from the 351C's small block pattern. The V6 will be a severe dog in the T-Bird.If I were in your place I'd rebuild the 390.
