yeah, its def possible.. the awd tranny wont, you will have to get a gt tranny and put that in.. you might wanna look for a front clip, cause you'll also need mounts and i think thats baout it, I would say search past threads.. that will give you the best results

well you should get the whole front clip or else you will have to go part searching and for a ST215,...its practically impossible to find parts in the US.

i would steer clear of the ST215 motor... its hard enough getting parts for the ST205 let alone the next version of that motor, on top of it all, the wiring system in toyotas have evolved a bit and with the use of CAN the ECU may require a hook up to the body control module to run, a BCM you won't have in your car i might add
