Wbody chassis swap to rwd chassis?
 

I have a 95 coup pontiac grand prix its always been a vision of mine to make it a rwd vehicle I felt like it should have been, back to my point I want to know if there is a chassis that is extremely close to the w body i know the wheel base is 107.5 and I found a few options but was wanting a different point of view or recomandations. Trying to avoid shortening a chassis
yes I'm doing this willing to spend money but also to learn. This is just something I want to do for a long time, I know if I wanted a rwd I can get one but this is what I want to do. Any help would do
I went this route because I new a conversion would be pricey-er any ways thanks for the help in asvance.https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.gmf...8d7149ecc8.jpg

Every once in a while we see this here. I don't intend to doubt or discourage, but I've never seen one completed here.

Do you want it to still look kind of like a 1995 GP when it's completed or are you happy with a 1995 GP body perched on another chassis of some sort?

Do you want any of the gauges to work when you are done?

Do you have $20,000.00 and unlimited time?

Again, I don't intend to discourage. What you're talking about is a lot of custom fab work through most of the "solid" parts of a unibody car, then rebuilding all of it for RWD.

Yes
 

Yes I know it wrong be easy and yes I'll 're gauge everything I'm willing to do alot of work my self but as long as I can pop the body on to another chassis that's almost like it then yes I'll take my time. Just wanted some guidance on certain things or anything really

Find a frame from a 4X2 S-10. Get rid of the 4 or 6 cylinder engine and remove the trans.

Take your W-body, remove the engine cradle, front struts/suspension and rear struts/suspension.

Pick body up, drop onto complete S-10 frame. This is where a shitload of money and a good welder comes into play. Mount the unibody to the S-10 frame.
Now, gut out the tranny tunnel. Install a 5.3 and matching trans to the S-10 frame. Weld in new trans tunnel. Done.

As a technical discussion, Moved to the Pontiac section for better visibility.

Thank you
 

Thank you for the guidance
and will do. Wish me luck on my build I'm just going to get somethings over time and I'll start posting on here

This actually would make for a very interesting RWD build/project. I wish you Good luck & feel free to post, hopefully with some pics along the way !:pontiac: :smile:

Yeah, I'd love to see how it comes out.
