Keep in mind, this will not be a direct drop in, and depending on rather or not the 96 is a V6 or GT is really going to have drastic effects on how much you're going to have to spend in aftermarket parts. Keep in mind the suspension out of a 96 may not support the engine properly, so it may sag a little, however a GT is much better set up than a V6, which basically needs everything to be changed out.
