The problem would be the motor in the pistol grip, you might be able to make one from the springer version. Barrie and Anne made an svt from an M14, have a look here. http://www.ww2airsoft.org.uk/php/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=10480&hilit=dragunov
An AEG SVD to SVT isn't possible due to the SVD gearbox shape which has a pistol grip. A springer version is doable but offers no advantage over using an M14 aeg in terms of simplifying the build as far as I can see.
