Anything is possible with the right amount of time and $$$$.

...but I would estimate a min. of 10-15 grand to do so, and frankly the car isn't even worth that much.

Realistically, no.

Wheel bases are different lengths, completely different drive train lay out, completely different mounting points, completely different [insert part here], etc etc.

Theoretically, yes...

Yes if you had an unlimited amount of money, you could; just like you could plant an LS2 in there and make it RWD if you really wanted to.

Any thing is possible, Is it worth it, no. You could probably buy a RL cheaper than it would cost to try to do the conversion.
