I assume you mean 98+?
If you have enough money or fab skills, yeah. But to do it you pretty much have to get the majority of the underhood sheetmetal. It is in NO WAY a bolt-on swap nor one that only requires "some" sheetmetal work. It is a BIG job. I only know of 1 car that has actually done it & that was in a show car, so no idea if it was really strong enough for a street car. & he swapped the whole firewall & almost the entire underhood between the radiator wall & the firewall, top to bottom.
