Awd ?????

Yeah, it was an XR4x4 the running gear isn't strong enough for a muscle car though IMO.

It used the MT75 box and a standard sierra diff...neither of which are known for their strength. I think you'd be forever changing transmissions.


They running gear is basically the same as an escort cosworth....albeit with the YB 4 cyl instead of the cologne v6 (or dohc 8v).

They do run some decent power with the escort cosworths, but they're laggy and the car is a little bit lighter than a muscle car....


In fact, it's probably worth exploring as an option. A sierra XR4x4 can be had here for around $1000 so if you get the parts from a breakers they won't cost a fortune...

They're a conventional setup anyway...transfer case on the end of the longtiudinal gearbox - diff in the sump. You might be able to uprate the transmission to cope with the power and use the bigger ford diffs you have over there...from the thunderbird I think?.

Hmmm deffinatley a option if its not outrageus to upgrade .. I keop leaning back towards the sy/ty setup for simplicity at this point i found a tranny and tcase now for $200 bucks i think im going to scoop up just because..
