The suspension should not be a terrible issue if you find a rear end that will work. But there will be a ton of cutting/welding to do to make it all happen. It would be a kick a$$ car though if someone had the money to dump in making it RWD.

not sure the engine would fit when set at 90 degrees of what it is now. but i don't believe there is a rwd tranny that would fit.

Agreed on the engine placement. I was thinking having a tranny modified to fit as I do not know of any that would stock. You would be looking at a custom bell housing at the least, then the shaft, flywheel, gearing, etc would all have to be takend into consideration

if i were using the 2az-fe for a rwd project, it would definitely be a tube chassis dragster or buggy

too bad that engine is front wheel drive... have you seen the tc drag car and the HUGE front tires, and the little itty bitty rear tires... i think that means its front wheel drive, plus i saw the drag tC car at the sema auto salon in jersey... at least im pretty sure its front wheel drive.
if im wrong... please flame on.
