Welcome to FTE.

Anything is possible. 4.0L, 302, 351w, etc...... There is a swap forum further down the main page that will have alot of info for you. Or use the search function. Please read the "Please reads" at the top of all forums.

You don't have to "redo the suspension" if you went 4.0 or 5.0L.

Cost...no fixed amount. You find what you can, when and where you can. People do theirs differently. Some get new turnkey crates, otehrs go for 70s model set-ups.
