[SKAR]

Im thinking low budget, the shell was an lx, and I have a 8.8 rear end, no transmission yet, im thinking 5 spd as i find autos boring to drive. Here Ill get some pictures to show what I have as a base to build from

Ok so awd is not a good plan, what about putting a 302 in the middle, would you just run a REALLY short driveshaft?

You would literally no driveshaft... the tail shft on the trans will be right at the axel. You would have to make the engine work with the suspension.

I mean shell....

And to make the suspension work the rear would have to be REALLY stiff and just the slip yoke to a ujoint to the rear end....

Yeah the motor will literally have to rock with the rear suspension.

Maybe you could do a independent rear suspension like the newer vehicles have.

just yank it off of a Tbird, cougar, or mark VIII

It would be hard for me to get a irs rear end though, most stuff I could use is from scrap cars,I could use the back end of the bmw but theres no way it would handle the torque

Why dont you tub that thing and drop some nasty big block in it?

[SKAR]

I have no money, but a lot of time, and an engine and rear end

a big block would weigh more than id want to handle

Well, you will probly need to build it up.

What about the kits you can get for those rally cars in the deserts? I know damn well those things can handle torque
