Can't do it, the transmission configuration won't work.

If you do that, then you would have AWD. True story.

only way it will work as if you put the motor and trans into the trunk, and power the rear wheels there.

Mount the wheels pointing the other way. Crab drive.

Only if the same engine can be found in the other variant. You would have to source mounts, pan, etc for it to work.

You can do all sorts of crazy stuff. The real question is if you have the skills, time and money to achieve desired results.

To be able to see your picture?

So long as it's the same engine then yes. You'll just have to keep any parts that are different like mounts, oil pan, etc. as mentioned above.
