Not without doing a TON of changing on the front.

The 4th gen fronts do not use a Macphereson strut suspension but went with coilovers with upper and lower control arms on the front. Plus they went away with the standard steering box setup and used a rack and pinion setup instead.

There were some pics from Fbody 9 where somebody did that, but they cut the whole front from a 4th gen (firewall forward) and welded it onto a 3rd gen back half.
