Fwd

[fordman]

Fwd? What? Forward? Front wheel drive. Opinions. Welcome. Good bad etc. Also could a close setup be found. What vehicle to use as a parts vehicle. Minivan?

Not my thing at all, as I love rwd, but it does spark my imagination to wonder if you could use an early 90s awd Aerostar chassis.

Wow, Never heard this. Would like to see what it is all about. I Would rather Have RWD. Why FWD??

My Grandpa built this kit car back in the 80's. It is a rear engine car. The drive terrain is from a front wheel drive oldsmobile tornodo from the early 70's I believe. It has a chevy 350. In order to make it work the whole engine/transmission is installed backwards and then he flipped the rear end of the car so that the final output would make it go forward. I don't have any pictures with the hood open but if you are interested I could get some pics. He's too old to get in and out of the car so guess who gets to take care of it for him!

Is that an old Coyote kit car?
You need to scrap the toronado lead weight and slap in a Taurus SHO setup.

[mrtleavitt]

Yes it's the coyote, not many people recognize it! There's no way I'm going to try to fit a different engine in it. My grandpa already performed major surgery on it to get the v8 in it. I don't want to open that can of worms again.

Cool, I Haven't seen one of those in a long time. Sounds like your grandpa has some skills
