I would hang on to the 5.0 and work out the kinks, parts are around for a good deal you just have to take your time.

get the 4 cyl...gut it build a carb'd high HP engine stick in a roll cage do some suspension work with a 9" rear end and call it a day. Then look for a clean 5.0 for a DD

A true 5.0 car holds alot more value than a conversion.
Buy yourself a POS 4 banger with good body, and take the parts off of it, to fix yours.

And there is absolutely no need for a 9' rear on a fox, and carb'ing is not good for value.
