Front suspension ?s

I was planning on swapping over my springs, struts, and wheels and tires today on the front and was wondering about the front control arms. Are they the same for a 4cyl and a GT? How hard would it be using a jack and some jack stands to swap everything over?

4cyl Stuff is made for 4cyl weight. I wouldn't want to do it. However, the job is rather easy as you'll already be replacing the suspension

I would assume that the springs and stuts would be the things that are engine specific, no? The control arms on the 7.5 and 8.8 are the same so why wouldn't the fronts be?
