I'm not sure but i'd be willing to guess it depends on the tools you have, like welder, cutting tools 
and such, because I'm sure you could fit a 5.0 in anything under the sun for the most part with enough money and the right equipment to do it with, so it all depends on your ambition.

Show those ricers how to do it right, drop in a 5.0 into a little civic

That is right. All that matters is your skill and/or pocket book. Try a 360 in a 85 daytona (used to be FWD now RWD) in all mild steel tube chassis.
i was moreso thinking along the idea of cars that dont need to be heavly modified (eg the volvos need new motor mounts and thats it (if your carburated))
or at least conversions that would cost less than 1k in parts.

They make a kit to convert the Focus from front wheel to rear wheel drive and put the 5.0 in that. Saltymaz - do a google search under RX7 V-8 - you'll find a bunch of sites - very common swap for both Chevies and Fords. There's also kits to put them in the Miata - commonly referred to as a Monster.
And to say that all the Volvo needs is new motor mounts to mount the 5.0L is kind of like saying if you want to be a millionaire, well, just get a million dollars. It's quite a bit more involved - as is any engine conversion. Carbed doesn't necessarily make it any easier - just different. The Volvo efi system is just like the Mustangs - so switching one to a carb entails the same kinds of things you went through switching your 93 to carb.

I think you might've missed the posts that said that anything's possible with time and money. No substitute for cubic dollars....

Well, if one will go into a Focus, I don't know why it wouldn't go into a Stratus. Just bring your checkbook. Try this one...... http://www.ntahc.org/modifiedhealeys/Photos/126Marian/Marian.htm
