fwd turn into awd tranny?

i have a fwd tranny form a 1994 svx it was wrecked but good tranny
and i also have a 1992 svx with a bad tranny.

so here's my question: can i take the diff's off of the 92 awd tranny and put them on the 94 fwd tranny and get a awd tranny?

and if so would it be as easy as remove and replace?
