1. You would need to turn the engine sideways in the engine compartment, which will require fabrication of motor mounts and mounting points along the inner fender.
2. You will need to cut a strip out of the middle of the floorboard and install a transmission/driveshaft tunnel.
3. You will still need a transmission. The rear end on rear wheel drive vehicles does not serve the same purpose as a transmission.
4. Front wheel drive systems have few components, less weight, and are less complicated than rear wheel drive systems - so you would be going backwards in fuel economy.
