Not unable, you just have to figure out how to reverse the engine crank direction or do something to the drivetrain to make it spin the oposoite way needing a big bottle of tylenol for all the headaches you are going to have! LOL

In theory it is as if putting a FWD engine in a RWD car...kind of difficult but possible if you have the money!

Now if this was possible a 3.8 GT3 engine bored out to 4.2 making 400+ hp NA would be amazing but that alone is around 15-20k....LOL
