You can't really do that. You'd need at the very least a new logic board and new antennas, which in the case of any iPhone that can be CDMA, is the external case.

You're better off selling the phone and getting a CDMA iPhone for a similar amount of money as what you sold your GSM one for.

Assuming you mean iPhone 4. Answer--no. You'd have a shorter list if you asked what parts are the same between the two phones.
