I can still save this thread, you can do a 4wd system like the subarus, they have a front transaxle I think, adn you just have a long driveshaft from that, using a custom differential...then again you can just buy a subaru too, 300hp is a lot better than 270!!

 

LOL nevermind, i just destroyed your dreams again!

 

Just gives an excuse to do an SAS using heavy springs. You'd probably need to to clear the pan anyways.

You'd probably need to build a 700lb flatbed to keep the truck quasi-balanced. But at least you got the power to keep it moving!

 

this is all gravy, but i'll run my 3.0 till it's done thank you very much.

speaking of the transaxle and long rear shaft, that's exactly what we're doing to my friend's 99 cabrio.
