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).

Here's a diagram for the 6000 all wheel drive system

as most of you know already there's a much better way to get AWD than swapping the 6000 STE drivetrain in...with all the work it would take to do that...
DOUBLE the power AND get AWD!
who's gonna be the first Twin L67 Bonnie? :naughty: :owned:

oh since were' at it..... Single engine cars... WTF? :mrgreen:

This is why I always thought FWD Bonnevilles were wrong. I've always associated drivetrains with types of cars.

FWD - small economy cars
RWD - sports/muscle/possibly luxury cars
AWD - luxury/off-road cars

The fuel crisis back in the 70's forced american auto engineers to design more fuel efficient drive trains. The Japanese & European auto makers already had front wheel drive in some of their cars.
