Maybe im just crazy, what do you guys think? haha

there is a video floating around the net of a 5th gen with a RWD V8 conversion. It' SICK

A 5.0L ford V8 will fit with custom mounts, you'll have to make the exhaust tunnel larger to fit the drive shaft. And the rear end will need to be braced up to take the extra power and mount the rear end.

it can be done, in fact, a mechanic here offered to do mine for $6000 canadian, everything involved.

would be interesting
