I have become so upset and frustrated with front wheel drive that I am considering embarking on what has got to be one of the most sought after mods a saab could have...rear wheel drive. I am working on a plan to longitudally mount the engine and use the drivetrain off a BMW or Mustang(similar sized car, mustang would have a live rear axel which would be easier to install). The exhaust routing already gives me a transmission/drive shaft tunnel. The tranny off the BMW or Mustang will have to be used also. Something with taller first gearing would be ideal. If I can figure out a way to make it all work out and come up with the funds(under $4k for the whole drivetrain) this may be a serious possibility. Just imagine one of the most durable, highest specific output four bangers in a great looking body, with rwd! M3's had better run...that is if it is possible?
