FWD/AWD Motor Adapted To RWD Drivetrain?

I was looking around on the internet and I've seen (at least from what I understand) that a motor that is used for a FWD or AWD vehicle can be adapted to fit into a RWD drivetrain, is this correct? For example, say I wanted to put a 7-bolt 4G63 motor into my S-10, would it be fairly do-able? I wouldn't do it, it's just an example. I'm pretty sure you'd need a new transmission for the motor and quite a few other modifications.

Any help is appreciated, just trying to learn. (:

Moderators,

Be aware user name Pivotto is clogging this website by adding unnecesary new post without prior use of Google or newbie forum search.

3 out of 4 of his post are kind of like:

Can you make a train fly?
Can a plane be converted into a submarine?
If I put a rocket in my car, could I get to the moon?
If I put a 4G63 engine on my father's 18 wheeler, can I deliver parts?
My uncle has a ship, can I use the ship's engine to propelle my car?


That is no more no less how I perceive his questions . Is anyone with me?

These are his post:

Yes it is possible, even easy if you have a clue what you need. However I'm not going to help you.

Alright, sorry, I just wanted to learn. I said I had searched around but wasn't sure, I claimed on my other posts the same thing, I guess that isn't good enough.

yes you can put a 4g63 into a s10.. you will need to either use the tranny from the s10 and mate it with the 4g63 with a custom bellhousing or buy a custom bellhosuing for a supra tranny or powerglide which will bolt to the 4g63. then you'll have to probably do custom engine mounts, wiring harness, gauges ect. what your looking to do isn't really a learning thing. Generally if you have to ask how? your probably not qualified or ready to tackle such a task.

I wasn't planning on actually doing the swap, it was just an example, but thank you anyways, it was helpful information. (:
