This is just an idea that popped in my head.. will 99+ headlights work in the 94-98 style ?? also same question for the tail lights.. I understand there would be some work in arranging it, but I wondered if anyone has tried this or actually did it.

You'd basically have to swap out a lot of sheet metal, including work on the quarter panels. And new bumper covers. Basically everything Ford did when they created the 1999.

Your best bet is to get a 99+, and a Maximum Motorsports K-member, and swap a 5.0 into it .

Well, you could try to find a theft recovery that's been stripped. Or just get a V6 and sell the mechanicals (coincidentally, the V6 uses a T5 very similar to a 94/95 GT). It's worth noting that it is not likely to be emissions legal to swap a 5.0 into a 99+ for road use, so if you have emissions testing where you live you would think twice before doing it.getinaGTsoon said:now that is an interesting thought... I wonder how hard it would be and how much to get a 99+ body w/ no engine. IN TACT.
Problem with a body-in-white is that it has no VIN, so you will never have it on the road, period.urban96 said:you could get one of these body shells and swap everything from your car to this one http://www.stangparts.com/rebuild/page1.cfm
99+ is an SN95Striped5.0 said:Just looking at the tail lights and head lights on a 99+ compared to a SN95 body style you can tell that theres just no way they would fit w/ out major fabracation. Its like trying to cram the square block into the round hole

rudeone707 said:As far as i knew the 94-04 had the same platform. The only thing that changed was the engine and the outside body. 94-98 looks very similar in body lines to 99-04 and i thought it was due to them sharing the same platform.
