ford st 24 donor car
 
hi very new to this

i have two questions

i have a ford st24 can i use this as a donor car and will he engine fit

can anyone tell me what will i need to make it a rear wheel drive outfit

Pretty much everything is useless. And using the ST24 engine will require a Getrag 221 Gearbox which was only found in uncommon V6 Manual Jaguar S-Types or some unusual American Lincoln.

thanks or that
could i modify chassis and fit the engine in the back

You could, but then your getting away from what this forum is really focused on.

I Have a MK1 Si V6 ( More or less the same engine ) which I will eventually use for a rear engined car, but it will have no resemblance to a Roadster.


If this is your first ever foray into Building or Extensive Modding then your best sticking with the tried and tested routes.

And that gearbox has direct top, so will need a long legged diff (Jag unit is 3.07)

There's 1 or 2 off the shelf Rear engined Mondeo V6 Kits.

Any suggestions as to where we might find them (I'm interested too), there's nothing on google (might be if I dug deep enough)?
