Yes, it is possible. Given enough time and money, it is possible to put ANY engine into ANY vehicle.

A better question would be will it fit without major modifications to the body, frame, wiring, electronics, etc. No, it will not. This will be a very difficult and expensive swap.

An even better question would be whether or not there would be a worthwhile benefit to such a swap entailing what was already mentioned above?
