A tricked out 2.3 RWD conversion can put out plenty of power to have fun with.

What are your plans for a rear axle? Something independent or solid?

Independent rear is the way to go since this car is very unlikely to see a drag strip.

Ordered up the Duratec to T5 bell housing and figured out our throw out bearing. Things are coming along. Should have motor mounts done right after Focus in the Field.

**SVT2RS** · 09-01-2009, 02:40 PM

So... updated pics?

**HTP Designer** · 09-04-2009, 11:01 AM

So didn't make it out to Focus in the Field but the bell housing is here. I have some pics ready to be sized and then I can post them up. Things have been really busy here and so this gets pushed off to the side. Going to work on it this weekend so I can keep my sanity.

**mikeyboy** · 09-19-2009, 08:43 AM

interesting, i like your idea for a RWD conversion but not a ridiculous v8 swap. you'll actually end up with a driveable car

**turbozeteczx3** · 09-27-2009, 11:43 AM

omgzyes!

**HTPerformance** · 11-11-2009, 09:27 PM

Well, without the pictures... I'll do the voiceover as Jason has been uber busy getting some custom projects completed.

FWD drivetrain is out and now in the 2001 (former Zetec ZX3 chassis), which received a tubed front end under the 2006 Front Fascia put together with spare parts lying around the shop! Makes for a great parts chaser and likely a good autoX duty car since she got the Autopower rollbar installed along with 4-pt harnesses.

Look for updates with RWD motormount mockup next!
