Not in an FC that I am aware of, but in B-series truck it has been done many times.

For RWD configuration you would need:
-B2200 trans, clutch, flywheel, starter
-custom mounts

To run it you would need:
-EDIS conversion (trigger wheel based ignition)
-custom flange to swap the intake around (it faces the firewall, the intake is 2-piece, so this is not as hard as it sounds)
-thermostat housing from a 323 (stock thermostat housing will hit the firewall)
-Megasquirt or similar stand alone ECU

To make power you need:
-FMIC
-hybrid turbo (For T-bird turbo)
-550cc injectors (FC injectors are direct swap)
-Custom exhaust

If you want to do it, I suggest you buy my '89 626 Turbo as a starting point
