It would require EXTENSIVE modification. New engine and trans, an entire new exhaust, the rear floorpan would have to be modified to support a rear axle, the chassis could also use some stiffening. Honestly, your best bet would be to spend the money elsewhere. Yes, it can be done, but it is not cost effective in the least.

Rob's right.
It would be way easier and much less costly to just find a GT4 and rebuild it.
