5.0 Generation Swap?

5.0 Generation Swap?
Anyone ever heard of a 5.0 swapped into '99 - '04 body? I have an entire fox but the restoration required to fix rust damage to the body/frame is way beyond my capabilities. Trying to figure out if there are any other gens that migh be a close fit? 5.0 HO with T5 World class tranny, 8.8 rear, and it's carbed. Any thoughts?
I read something in the knowledge database that '79 - '04 all have same chassis. Is that right?

Yea. The wiring is the only hard part with 96+. With any 94+ body you have to either get a 94+bell and trans or just the bell and swap your input shaft out for the longer one in the 94+'s. You could just buy another fox.

Yea, there is somebody on the site that's done it I believe, but I may be wrong, but I have seen in several mags where people have put 5.0s in 99+ and terminator engines in 5.0s, so anything is possible. However, keep in mind, the 99+ uses OBDII wiring setup, foxes run OBDI, not sure what type of complications that could cause, but that is one major difference, so I'd make sure a 5.0 ecu will fit a 4.6L ecu harness first of all, last thing you want to do is rewire the whole car.
