engine swap?

I was just wondering...how hard is it to drop a larger motor into an originally 4 cylinder Fox (late 80's model)?

I've seen a few rollers lately in decent shape for cheap (less than $1k) and I've been kicking around buying one then looking for a 5.0 motor to drop in.

For you? just stick with Revell.
 
They're doing that exact swap on PowerBlock TV. I watched the first episode last Sunday.

When I had the 93 with a 4 banger, i also had a 79 with a partial V8 swap(it wasn't finished but it was in). It would still have cost quite a bit to do (correctly).
The 4 banger cars have a lot of different parts. You would need a parts car. The only benefit i see would be if the 4 banger car was in real good shape. I ended up selling both cars.
