rear end swap

swapping the whole rear end from a 2000 ws6 into my 92 rs 5.0. has anybody done the 4th gen rear end swap? will it need to be modded or fabricated or will it just go right in?

A direct swap except the 4th Gen rear is wider by 4" overall.

hit the search key, this has been covered many times. - Yes, the swap is direct, but it is almost 4" wider, thus your rear tires will stick out further.
