Ok so i figure ill ask around and see if anyone even thinks its possible.

i currently have a 98 zx2 escort. my friends and me have been toying with the idea of dropping in a v6 and converting this car to rear wheel. the project has been dub'd firefly however im curious if anyone even thinks this could be possible.

i do understand i will for sure have to:
-custom motor mounts/redoing front frame just to mount the motor
-custom drive shaft
-custom mounting of a rearend
-reinforcing the frame
-custom steering configuration

and the maybes:
-moving the firewall back up to 2feet
-moving the coupe to a two seater


i know that this would be something of a several year project im just curious if anyone has any ideas if this is even possible, or have seen something similiar done.

thanks

You're not too far off what I'm doing to my '95 Probe GT, but I decided the best solution was to just use the entire floorpan from a '94-'02 f-car, giving a torque arm rear suspension, which is what all the '79-'04 Mustang guys are converting to. I'm sure the moderator is going to close this thread because it's not related to third gen f-cars, but you can PM me.
