Performance thought, Motor/AWD swap thoughts Options

[Fastbird]

I was sitting around the other day amusing myself by conjuring up things to do to my cars (I swear, if I had a Yugo, I'd look for every possible way to make it faster). And the thought hit me........

Obviously, a 3S-GTE swap into my car. But here's where the "unique" part comes in. Take a GT4 or Alltrac rear, and instead of doing the AWD conversion, install the rear and disconnect the front half-shafts, creating a RWD Celica.

I've seen this done MANY times on the early 90's GMC Syclone and Typhoon trucks. Granted, those are on a RWD platform, but essentially the same rule applies. Disconnect the front half shafts, all power/tq gets transferred to the rear wheels.

So..........What are the odds of this actually working in a 6GC. I guess it's about as close to a baby supra as you can get, but I thought it would make a great unique-factor for my car.

Long time off though. Motor swap for me won't happen until late this year at the earliest.

yeah a 5th gen. it probly was an AWD to begin with. so it had the room already in the rear chassis for the driveshafts and what not.
