Eat shit, that kind of bullshit is what makes those OTHER sites so unbearable.
Here you can say what the fuck you want and you don't have to worry about people not reading your post (unless we filtered you because you are a tremendous faggot)
The downside is its a viral marketer's paradise. Anyone with a fucking agenda can start posting willy nilly.

from my uneducated guess:
if FR then cut out/weld floorpan to fit the driveline/transmission. and maybe make space so that it can fit in with the different length. the steering rack position and other parts that could get extra heat from manifold might need to be positioned differently
whatever controls the clutch/transmission might need to be changed, would have to use from whatever rwd engine you got from for FR

If MR or RR then make the cut out the boot, make it stronger and make mounts, and try get to fit. would kind of be like everything from the front but in the back... and then the fuel tank, fuel lines, brake lines/master cylinder/brake booster and transmission/clutch things would have to be done differently
>>
>>15550781
also, you'd need to cut down/lengthen the tailshaft bit so that fits the length of the car

so pretty much >>15550580. just cut bits off the rwd car for the tunnels/mounts and put in fwd car, and make your firewall bigger
>>
>>15550388
But that's a k car

What if I took a FF car, took the whole front end and welded it to the back of the first car, locked the steering rack of the rear, ran a throttle cable from the front to the rear and then had a FF/RR dual engine car?
>>
>>15550877
do it and report back to us, you'd have to flip the engine around tho unless you wanna drive everywhere with back engine in reverse
>>
>>15550850
Nope, a Del Sol by the looks of it.

What are you trying to do it on?

>>15550552
Nah it'll just turn it into a popularity contest like reddit.

You don't it is economically and practically foolish.

What you want your FWD shitbox to be already has a RWD equivalent.
>>
>>15550381
it would be very expensive

>muh site wars
you're no better
>>
>>15551751
this is probably true in most cases.

It is possible and has been done before, but it only makes sense to attempt if you have access to your own machine shop and tools ect.

>>15551829
Wait this sounds like you're converting FWD to money and money into RWD.
Isn't that inefficient?
>>
>>15551844
Yes, but less than the extra money you'll have to put in to machine a FWD car into being RWD.
