Perhaps at 4AM. I'd plan at least 1 hour. I'd try to get a "car" service.
The taxi drivers absolutely hate going to the airports because of the taxi
pool. Getting a taxi from one airport to the other is likely to get you
a crash course in Russian swear words.

One thing to know about cabs in NYC is they are required to take you
anywhere you want to go within the city limits (plus a few other places,
like Newark Airport). They can't refuse a fare just because they don't
want to go where you're going. If you flag down a cab on the street
somewhere, they may try and blow you off, but at the major airports,
there are taxi dispatchers who enforce the rules.

I figure sometime in the next century or two, they'll actually complete
the job they started and extend the AirTrain to LGA. When that happens,
you'll be able to walk out of the terminal at LGA onto a train, and walk
off the train 20-30 minutes later at the terminal in JFK. No Russian
vocabulary lessons required.
