engine transplant

Would it be possible, to transplant a 300ZX turbo engine into a Maxima? I realize one if RWD and the other FWD but could it be done with a minimum of work? Or is it just out of the question? I'm not looking to do major surgery here, just wondered if it could be done relatively easily? (turn it sideways and bolt up the transmission is what I'm thinking) I may be WAY off base here, so if I am, please DO NOT flame me.......just asking. I mean they are both V6 and close to being the same, are they not? Maybe a turbo unit from a 300ZX without the engine transplant? I was just looking for cheap HP, and you can buy a whole 300ZX turbo engine for around 3k and that gives you a new engine too boot. A supercharger costs more than that alone!
Just curious,

i think that it is somewhere in the 4th gen FAQs at the top of the page, and I believe that the practical answer is no, unless you spend an enormous amount of $$...but i could be wrong, but check out the FAQs cuz i think it's in there
