The rear floorpan and suspension is different between the CGT and the
4Kq.  To do such a conversion would require you to cut out the entire
rear floor pan of the 4Kq and weld it to the CGT.  If that's the level
of work you're willing to do then it's possible, but as you can imagine
it is not a simple swap-over proposition.
