Yes the front gear box can fit the rear gear box, but you need to do a new rear upper deck.

My personnal feeling about the rear mounted shock tower and damper is not so good :
- the car feel a little better on fast turn due to the more rearward wing.
- the car have more acceleration straight forward due to the 70g of shocks that goes 30mm more rearward.
- the car is more bad in turning out with more oversteer.

In conclude, rearward shock only give advantage on fast track with high speed turn. On "pacman" track it's simply worst than the vanilla configuration.
