It's possible :) , but I don't think you know what you're in for.
It would take:
1) Lots of money.... if you're gonna have a shop do it for
you...probably around $10,000 minimum.
2) A shop willing and capable of doing a total custom job.
I mean everything, mounting that monster, cramming a tranny
under there, probably gonna be easier to convert a cavy to rear
wheel drive than to try and make a front wheel application work.
New computer, a suspension capbale of holding all the extra
weight, all new or custom internals(radiator, etc...)
If you have the money than I say go for it!!! But it's not gonna be a nice and easy swap that just anybody will be willing to try and make work.
Good luck.
