Default 5.0 conversion question

Ok so me and some buddys were sittin in my gaurage where my 89 5.0 mustang is parked for now, also there is a 4.6 motor from a S/C cobra.... and someone said "man that would be SICK if we could put the 4.6 in the 5.0....

my question is will the 5.0 hold the cobra motor?
what about my t-5 tranny?
rear end?

Thanks in advanced,
Nathan

I'm pretty sure you could fab. something, somehow to get that engine in their, but it would be alot. And prob. not worth it, and the 4.6 motor wont accept the T5 tranny, so your talking some major modifications, and expensive work, decide which path you want to take 4.6 or 5.0, sell the one you dont want and use that money to build up the other

it'll take a lot of fabrication and can be done but most likely you'd be in over your head
