I think you're asking if anyone has swaped or installed a 5.0 V8 in place of a 2.8L V6?

It's done all the time. But people here tell me that it's easier to put a 4.0 in instead. Check CraigsList in Bellingham. There's a guy selling a BII with a 5.0 in it. I'm sure he'd lend a few tips.

someone here posted about doing it, had to upgrade tranny, transfer case, cut floor pan to fit both, didnt feel the need to upgrade suspension, and somehow shoe horned, greased, pried and got that thing under the hood.
