RE: Rwd conversion - 4/3/2007 2:55:36 PM    thestealth Posts: 1202 Joined: 5/27/2004 Status: offline No Dusty, they were FWD and AWD.  Transverse mounted engine FTL. Yes Sebba, there was a guy that welded the VCU (I think that is what he welded) and removed the front axles to make his 3kgt RWD...an exercise in futility in my opinion. There are 2 RWD Stealths that I know of, although I'm sure there are more.  One was an ES, he fabbed up a live axle and a 440 from some old Chrysler.  The other was a VR-4 (changed the front to look like a Stealth), tube frame front end.  He used the stock VR4 rear end.

RE: Rwd conversion - 4/3/2007 4:12:48 PM    thestealth Posts: 1202 Joined: 5/27/2004 Status: offline Find a local speed shop that does tube frame front ends, they will be able to weld one up for you.  They would also be able to weld in some kind of rear end...4-link or something like that.   (in reply to Dusty Eclipse) Post #: 9
