no.
what kinda fab work? serious fab work. custom subframe and mounting brackets in the rear. motor mount swap in the engine bay (easy), LOTS of welding and LOTS of making your own structures. you have to cut out the spare tire well + custom fuel cell & gas lines
ST should have enough clearance for drive shaft.
