Front engine rwd conversion?

[jayber]

Anyone have any links to someone thats done the conversion? I know its A LOT of work just wanted to see the project to satisfy my curosity
I know the firewall would have to be set back for a V8 and trans tunnel fabbed as well as hanging a rear.
Wondering what solution for front and rear suspension would be.
Not talking about a full tube frame drag car just a stout street car that would be the "Whoa" at any cruise in....

Ketchup did a miata swap into his. I think he did a turbo miata swap actually. It was cramped. He had to cut the firewall quite a bit. I just can't see it being a good swap ever. Festiva is famous for lightweight rear ends. You'd be getting the spins like a truck. If you wanted rwd. I think the ultimate platform would be a mid engine. 3000gt vr4 engine. They had a 6 speed their last year of production. And you could mate a tt3.0 to that transmission. Ecu from a Montero plug and play and is fully tunable.
