    Prolly not. You'd need to put the car on a rotisserie and weld in a new trans tunnel, make a new rear subframe, find a saddlebag awd gas tank, etc etc etc.
    '90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and
    '90 AWD Protege, yet another GTR swap, Open class rallycar with a Toyota GT4 gearbox swap, thus crossing the line between hobby and mental illness. And a Brabus E55 K8, removing all doubt.

            you will still have to mod the floor pan, they are different between the awd and front wheel drives.

              You're not gonna find just the firewall without the rest of the car, and with a whole car, you've got your new project

                  I did an AWD swap in my BF Capri I was able to use the exhaust tunnel but there is no room for the exhaust and things dont sit quite as perfect as they do on a real AWD car. The tunnel on the BF GTX is doublewide to house the exhaust and driveshaft, i was able to hang the exhaust real low and to the side but it scrapes

                  Ended up having to use a fuel cell in the trunk

                  The BG might be a little different but chances are you will probably still have to cut/weld/fab a lot of stuff though.

                            it sounds easy to "move stuff around" but once you truly start doing something you realize just how hard it is and not to mention $$$

                              Neither the floorpan nor the firewall need to be changed. The driveshaft will shoot down the middle hump with just enough room for exhaust with a bit of ingenuity. The front subframe, however, will require significant modification to clear the carrier and the steering rack will need to be relocated. A BF or BG rear subframe will nearly bolt up if you're creative.

                              (Pay no attention to my 3" dump pipe)
