Why wouldnt it work? If you want a 5.0 why dont you just get a '94-'95, it would be a lot easier. I'm with GoneMad96 about the 4.6!

Yeah, it's really going to be more trouble than it's worth. I'd just look around for a different car if I were you. It's easier just to swap out a set of tail lights than it is to swap a whole drive train. I'm a big fan of the mod motors myself and I drive a 5.0L, but if pushrod power is what you're looking for, have at it!
