Re: Any possible engine swaps

There are plenty of RWD sporty cars which would be a better (and cheaper) starting point than converting your car.

If you really, really wanted something fast and unique, keep the existing driveline up front. Pick up an identical Daytona driveline and subframe, complete with suspension and steering, and put it in the back. Lots of skilled fabrication would be required but you would end up with a two-engined full-time 4wd car.

BTW it only works if both engines have automatic transmissions.

This has been done with quite a few front-drive cars..... a few years ago there was a company which would do this to fwd Cadillacs on a commercial basis.
