Actually, The SA Player is split into 5 Sections, Head, body, legs, arms and feet, but for the ped its one section.t

I think there's a mod called "Player Selection" for SA which does what you are looking for... I think.

EDIT: Try this - http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=197749&st=0 . Don't ask me whether its good or whether it works or not, I have never tried it, so I got no idea.

I Think Dannye's right, ill go check some modding sites.

I played with the chicken model
I made a hack for it and I believe its in my open source package.
It will change the player weight and vehicle driving style so you should NEVER use it while playing.
Also the SA engine has atleast 4 problems with model changing:

- They use different bones, players are single models for each part, peds are one model only, sometimes anim bugs etc
- Physics change
- Crash when the animationset is loaded for the new model when the old model is still active (make sure you stand still when changing the model)
- SA uses another model for the replay and the game itself, so you have to set the model while playing the replay.
