Fwd 3rd gen 3sgte swaps, 0-100km/h, 400m, 1600m time ? Options

[quick_5hifter]

This year I'm doing the 3sgte swap for sure, I'm already saving money for it. The problem is:
-as far as I've read on 6gc forums, nobody has done the st205 tranny swap (for AWD/4wd); weight would be about the same as a gt4, so why bother swap instead of buying the gt4?
-242 hp on the front wheels seem like too much power for FWD; nobody here has ever shown results of a fwd 3rd gen 3sgte swapped Celica, so I think that, despite the ~200 kg "earned" by eliminating AWD, performances are not better than the original ST205.

So, is there any way of using the 3sgte gearbox on rear wheels transmission and cancel the front wheels transmission?
(this probably is a stupid noob question, maybe someone else already asked that question before, but I just couldn't find any answers about it).

if i remember correctly, there are a couple members that have converted to the awd trans when they did they're swap.
and i guess the 242 hp to the Front wheels is a matter of your personal opinion. because there are quite a few members that have over
300 hp to the front wheels and have no problems. with the exception of a broken axle here or there (:

but if i can find the links to the people who have done the swap i will post them here for you
