Actually we do have the hump in the center of the car....but whose counting..... :lol:

well, to be fair that hump is for the exhaust pipe. on a RWD that hump is just about double that size to occomadate the driveshaft and transmission.

LakevilleSSEi 06-26-2005 08:16 PM

Only double the size in the firewall..... ;)


I'm not saying that it can't be done or anything.....but more of a project than I could handle that's for sure.

Eh, not worth it. Just throw it on a RWD Chassis and be done with it.

The AWD isn't totally impossible. I know theres at least one gm AWD tranny that will bolt up to our engines. I think it was in the 6000?
Of course it's still gonna be hard to make that trans hold up to a lot of power. And theres still a ton of custom work involved(axles, blah, blah).

Citroen 4 door sedans in years past, maybe 60's & 70's, had front wheel drive and the floor was completely flat side to side, front to back. ;)
