Lounge / fwd for fox suspension?

January 26, 2009, 07:46:28 PM

Here's an idea. <--Famous last words.

Take the whole engine and trans from a fwd 3.0 duratec, like a taurus. Turn the whole assembly sideways. Now you have 1 cv shaft going forward and 1 going to the rear. You would likely want to change the final drive in the fwd transmission to the tallest one you can find, and use tall gears in the front and rear diffs. They use this set up with a 4 cylinder in custom rock buggies. You might have to cut the floorboard on the passenger side a little, but with the engine and trans pushed back as far as possible it would help weight distribution. Or you could use all that extra space up front for a fat turbo. Sounds pretty ambitious, but I think it's pretty ambitious wither way.

Weird, I have been thinking this same thing lately. I was gonna use an i-6 from a gmc envoy. It has hole in the oil pan for a front diff already.

I turn the engine over with a wrench to do that. Jesus bumpin' the starter sounds scary as ... You weren't under the car when you did it were you??

Suspension/Steering / PS fluid GONE!!!

If you don't find any obvious leaks but the fluid still goes away, check inside the rack boots. If a seal in the rack goes out it can leak into those boots and it will not be visible at first. Either pull the boot off the rack or cut a small hole in it. If the fluid flows out, replace the rack.
