Pipe dream for me unless I become a millionaire, but that's never stopped me from planning ideas, especially while at work. Look closely at cars that are factory set up like this for ideas.

I would look at a junked car, rear trashed engine bay fine. Duplicate the set up. cut out the K member, weld it in backwards.
Rework you suspension (probably one of the hardest parts).
Look into moving a gas tank, or using a fuel cell in the front of the car to even out the balance a little. I don't think a front gas tank is legal, but a fuel cell probably is...
Leave the radiator up front, run long coolant lines (protected of course) with supplemental pumps to flow the coolant. And I would modify the stock pump to make it a higher flowing unit, which would be pretty easy.
Routing of exhaust could be interesting.
I would definately remove the back seat build a firewall, install glass/plexiglass above it.
A lot of stiffening up the rear end would be needed.
A very good welder and some car builders would be a good start.

I'd love to do it, just to do it... but I don't have nor will I have the money or the skills to undertake such a task, oh yeah time too.
