Default 2008 is250 Engine RWD swap to a 2008 is250 AWD car, is it possible?

I am new to this forum,I bought a 2008 Lexus IS250 AWD, But I mistakenly bought an 2008 Lexus IS250 RWD ENGINE!!! Is it possible to install the rear wheel drive engine into a all-wheel-drive vehicle? Has anyone done it do you have any tips or pictures I can use?

You're fine. Buy some Toyota FIPG and remove, clean and swap the oil sump. Do a search, this has been done before. What you see will be pretty obvious once you them side by side.
