Oh, wait... I just wrote a whole post about how these cars are like LEGO, and go together easily. Then I noticed you found a FWD car to swap in to. That's a no go.

The Engine, and transmission are different. The mounting points for the transmission back are different. The entire rear subframe is different. The gas tank is different. Swapping a good AWD drive train in to a straight FWD car is not worth it. There is way too much work involved.
