Ford Probe project. thoughts???

Could anyone give me a hand here, it would appreciated. i have a 95 ford probe se that i have pulled the engine and trans out of since the trans was blown by the guy i bought it from. the car has a nice 4 cyl. mazda, very well running. I would like to make this car a project for this summer, and i was wondering how hard it would be to put a v-8 marine engine right in front of the rear axle, and run a drive shaft to the front wheels. According to my calculations the point of gravity would be very nice with the weight of the v-8, and the front wheel drive. i know i would have to put in a differential in the front and stitch up the frame kinda like i was putting an axle in the rear. i doubt anyone has ever done this. lol. And I know most would tell me it couldn't be done. so just give me your opinion. thank you:smokin:
