It is, but a very popular conversion for those is yankin' the toy motor out and putting Ford V-8's in. Apparently it's an easy swap. Only thing needing to fab are motor mounts.
I had a friend that I met as a commercial account manager for CSK and he does all sorts of fabbing and restoring for fords and conversions using Ford motors. Even put a Ford Big-block into an early 90's Vette...then stuck a powered by Ford emblem on it.
The links below are his website and one of the conversions he did a couple of years ago.
