The problem is not that it can't be done. The problem is that nobody at Ford is going to authorize a one-off fix that doesn't meet the specification of the car. There's not some dude sitting at Ford, taking phone calls, and engineering end-to-end warrantable replacement solutions for something that they might be out of.
Now, I can believe that an owner might pay someone to make this swap for them or perhaps Henry Ford had a close personal relationship with said 93 Cobra owner that was documented in the blood of virgins before he died Both are more plausible than a Ford dealership sending someone home with a warranted car repair that doesn't meet the OEM specification. As a matter of incident, I'm not even certain that it would be legal. At the very least, it would need a Federal CARB emissions exemption or not be legal to drive in all 50 states.
