RWD conversion

[Qball]

I was curious if you guys knew of anyone who has done a RWD conversion in a W-body? I though it'd be cool to see tire smoke pouring out of the rear wheels.

James, where the hell do you keep that car? I've never seen it and that makes me sad. like this --->

This makes me sad even more

the other two arent al and i's fault al's sister killed em
she killed the 98 monte's 3100, so we put the 442's 3100 in it, then she killed the trans AND killed the bearings in the motor at 65mph in 2nd gear, mom bought an 03 impalla (3400) and she killed the motor in 2 months.

sucks too cause that was gonna be the 4th car the 442's original motor was gonna go into

and now with his divorce i dont blame him for being pissed off and discouraged

Chris Hoel (SP) had a RWD GP. Lots of fab went into it. I found a video WAY back when of a BBC RWD GP. It was basically just a GP shell with a custom frame. Ill host the vid on the awesome new vid site and throw it up when I get home.
