depends are you doing the work ur self or paying someone to do it?

really, if you have to ask, it's too much for you.


the easiest way is to find a wrecked 5.0 from the SAME YEAR to use as a donor for all the parts you'll need.

Thats pretty good at $1,900. I paid $4,000 for mine so thats not bad.

BTW I have an ORIGINAL 5.0 notchback with ALL black inti and only 83k miles.

But really it comes down to preferrence.

IMO you should just find a nice original 5.0 coupe.

you can do it..do your research and just work on it little by little..my next coupe will be a conversion just because i want the body imac, and i wanna get the chance to build my car myself..
