It's expensive, but it can be done. You'll lose handling and gain complexity.

If you're ultimate goal is best performance per $ spent, then don't do it. If you just want a new 5.0, or want it for the wow factor, go for it.

With a set of torches and a welder most things can be made to fit.

Detroit Speed & Engineering has a 66 with a coyote, but its not just about the shock towers on that car.
