    We are a hot rod site and not an import site but, I'll help ya. You gennerally can't do anything like that because you would have to remove the whole steering, unibody subframe and everything then, you would have to build the frame, modify a rear end to fit your track width and then get a new front end like a Mustang II IFS and mod it also, your steering colum would need replaced. You would probably even need to cut out the unibody and make your own body mounts on a custom floor. you have to ask yourself " Is it worth it? ", most sain people would say no. It's going to cost a lot of money like 10,000 - 20,000. all your suspension would have to be custom. I tried putting a V8 in a 1983 MB 240D because I wanted to be diffrent, I was going to use a Chevy 350 but it woulda ended up costing to much so I gave up and bought my '51 Chevy and I'm rodding that right now. You could build a compleatly custom hotrod that no body has 1 like it, there all diffrent.
