Engines can be swapped between RHD and LHD and vice versa, only TwinTurbo engines cannot be swapped from RHD to LHD due to clearance issues with downpipe LH turbo and brake/clutch reservoir.

above post has some of the potential issues, also with your power steering lines where they come thru the crossmember. but it can be done easily with a little work or custom lines.
