Should I Coyote swap a 2004 Suzuki Forenza?

Hey, Scotty. So I know that the Suzuki Forenza is one out of a few overlooked vehicles to this day and yes, I already know they're junk because of where they were made too. My mom had a 2004 sedan with the 5 speed manual transmission and it's head gasket had blown when it had hit 114K miles. Knowing the fact it could of lasted a bit longer if it was maintained a lot more. I don't know. But anyways, would you think it would be worth it if I ever find one used and put in a 5.0L Coyote V8 with the 5 speed manual transmission the first half of the fifth generation Mustang had? 

 

Note: I'm not really thinking about finding one and thinking about heavy mods I'm imagining to put in it at this moment but I'm just curious.

You're talking about a car that weighs less than 3,000 lbs. and you want to put a motor that takes over 400+ horsepower and 400+ torque in it. There are so many problems with this starting off with the transmission not even taking that much torque. This is not only a waste of money but also a very dangerous risk here. Do not even bother thinking about doing that.

You can put a big engine into anything with enough money and custom fabrication.

I hope you REALLY love that Forenza,  have loads of free time, and wads of money burning a hole in your pocket.
