Bill,
the normally transverse fwd engine is fairly do-able - the K series
transplants popular in the UK are mostly from fwd applications - it's the
rwd gearbox to match up with it that is then the tricky part; or more
precisely, how you adapt the gearbox to the engine. If it's not a popular
conversion, it might need some advanced engineering skills to make the
adaptor bits.
Not quite sure what you mean by the front portion of a fwd drive assembly,
but I assume you mean the complete engine/gearbox/final drive/driveshafts?
if so, that'd be quite a bit more difficult, as you'd have to alter the
suspension, and probably the whole front structure incuding chassis members
and inner wings etc. However, something along (loosely) similar lines has
been done already.
