1983 fb axle swap

Like the title says I have a 83. I'm looking to swap the rear end and front end to 5x114.3. Can this be done for a reasonable amount of money? If so let me know also available via text six08-two2five76zero9

You could also go 5x114.3 by swapping the rear axle to a Ford 8.8 with disc brakes, and swapping the front subframe to an FC and using TII front hubs to achieve 5x114.3 pattern up front. Both of which cost time, money and fabrication skills.
