Bad Idea.
Major work.
Not sure if it could even be accomplished without making the car rear wheel drive.
If you COULD find a front wheel drive standard transmission, it'd still be a major task.
It probably couldn't take the torque of a BBO if you COULD make it work.
Don't ruin a good car and cause yourself undue stress.
