The short answer is no.

The longer answer is yes, but it will require significant fabrication, engineering and converting to a full standalone.

I AM MISSING A LOT, I HAVEN'T GONE OVER EVERYTHING REQUIRED YET, BUT I KNOW I AM MISSING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF NECESSARY PARTS. THESE ARE LEFT OVER PARTS THAT I HAD FROM A PRELUDE, I JUST WANTED TO FIND OUT IF THERE WOULD BE OF ANY USE OF THEM ON MY FC, IF NOT...EBAY
