anything you can do to a fourth gen you can do to a third. all of the rear suspension is pretty much identical. front is different. rears are the same minus 2 inches on each side for a thirdgen. drivetrain is the drivetrain...these cars easily accept many many modifications.
just understand, it is old, it will cost money, it will have problems.

Bubba - get some solid details about the motor before you agree to buy anything. The 400 has a lot of potential as a fun motor, but if the builder doesn't know what he/she is doing it could be a disaster waiting to happen.
If it has problems, I would get it diagnosed by a professional before purchasing, unless it's ridiculously cheap.
