To be honest mate unless you fab up the front wheel drive your only option would be 4x4 and remove the rear drive from the rear diff :)
 
the easy way is to get a 4x4 and remove the rear axle shafts, and the guts out of the rear diff. i don't see this working out that well though as the majority of the weight is still on the rear, unlike a fwd car thats got the weight of the drivetrain on the front end.

if you really wanted a fwd the best thing would be to custom build it yourself. move the motor to the front as far as you can.

+1 on that suggestion.

HPI Baja transmission and engine mounted as they are in the rear chassis plate and primary gears replaced with either a chain or belt drive to get the correct drive direction. The rest is easy to make. You can use whichever parts and just make the mounts.
