The rear would be cool, but very exspensive, if I were to swap another rear in, I'd probably go for a Ferd 9" (Nascar style), because they are cheaper, and easier to swap gear sets out. The Trans would be AWESOME, would be the ultimate package, and with the 9" rear, damn near unbreakable!
I'd say, for about 5 grand or less, you could have this setup. Not sure who'd you contact for the transmission modification part, but the rear end part is very simple.
I'd love to have a 6 spd trans behind my 4.7L, and some 4.10-4.56 gears!!!

I personally wouldn't see why not...but there would be a lot of fabrication
