FWD engines do not fit in RWD cars, there are too many differences.

like what exactly, motor mounts obviously and transaxle but what makes it not possible

Intake manifolds, a whole bunch of parts on the motor that are faced in the wrong direction, just find a SOHC or rebuild your stocker.

Motor mounts, block castings, water line locations, accessory routing, intake and exhaust manifold direction, distributer location, and a host of other things.

Take the advice of somone who has been around for a while, it is theoretically possible, but in no way worth it. The fact that you have to ask, tells me you have neither the tools nor the fabrication experience to pull something like that off. I mean no offense, thats just my observation.

Just buy a machine shop and cast yourself a block that will work.
