Front Drive

What work has to be done to change a front wheel drive car into a rear wheel drive car?

Thinking about changing a front wheel drive car into a rear wheel drive car. Front wheel drive cars are much cheaper than the rear wheel ones .

What work must be done ?

Its probably not worth the time and money... You need a rear, drive shaft, transmission, and turn the motor 90 degrees. Before all that, you have to make sure there is room under the car to fit all that stuff. Chances are that there isn't so then you are going to have to remove the body and interior to restructure the frame and undercarriage to make all that stuff fit. Then after all that, you are still going to have to get all that stuff custom made.

An option to make life a bit easier... buy an all wheel drive car (like a subaru or a elipse gsx) and modify the tranny to remove the front axles
