awd conversion with the 3sgte swap Options

[psyko]

Has anyone done this? i don't know a whole lot about it, and im' just wondering what else would u need, i assume u would need the rear axle of a gt4. what other parts would u need, u already have the drive train if u buy a front clip. i'm just curious as to how much of a hassle this would be, if it's worth it, and cost effective. any info would be awesome, i've just always heard of everyone changing out the drive train and making it fwd.

I did get a test drive in it. Really Rough.
Needed a bit of paint work, gridning tires on fenders , loose mirror.
bad driver's front axle. Too bad he at least
didn't clean it up at least. :-(

In fairness, It was Fast. Probably All that mattered.

It was not worth the 12K he was asking IMHO.
To a Real rich Enthusiast, it would have been a
Good Project car.

I actually wish I could have afforded to buy it.
Just needed a bit more work than I, a mere mortal,
could afford.

There is No Reason why he could not have sourced a
JDM ST205, US AllTrac, Camry Alltrac etc tank.
The tank he put in would only take ~9gallons (?)
because he used the stock filling pipe.

Seeing One in person, makes it seem like it is doable. :-)
The trick is, it will never be economical to do it.
I know of at least One Real rhd ST205 Legal in the US.
