| Convert Jazz pickup to P on a 5'er?

I really want a P 5-string - or, ideally, a passive PJ. I haven't been having any luck finding a used one (at least, in the under-$1500 category - I can't afford a Sadowsky or Lull).
I looked at doing a Warmoth build, but they won't do a 5-string split-coil pickup rout, which rules out buying a finished body from them.
It occured to me today to possibly do this much more simply. I'm thinking of finding a US made Peavey Milestone 5-string (assuming such a thing exists - if not something on the same lines) and getting the neck pickup re-routed for a P pickup. Then drop in good P and J pickups, wired VVT, put on a suitable pickguard to cover any gaps around the P pickup, and... rock it! I know there is a Milestone 5 which has 2 J pickups. I just don't know if any of those are/were ever made in the USA.
Does anybody see any problem with this plan? I've never done anything remotely like this before.
