stupid question

Just wondering can a fwd 4ac be converted to rwd

I am sure that it can be done. Lots of custom fabrication would most likely be involved. Probably not worth the effort and expense. What would be the point?

I ask because i bought a fwd 4ac engine for cheap thinking it was the same and all i had to do is turn it

Ah, I thought you were talking about turning a FWD car into RWD. In the basic engine there is nothing fundamentally FWD or RWD. Some of the external parts are different, inlet manifold, accessory arrangement, etc.

oh ok thanks

Anything is possible with enough money and time. I'd love to see a mid engined AE82 of somekind, like an FX. It could be like the "Shogun" cars a decade ago where someone made a business out of sticking Taurus SHO engines amidships into Ford Festivas.

Or even earlier then that when Renault stuck a 200+ hp engined amid ships into their R5 coupes, then raced them in the old Group-B rally class. (we here in the USA know em as "LeCars"

A mid engine corolla FX with IMSA style box flares.. yum!
