Rear engined chassis

[twinturbo]

I will be using my old Mondeo 24V, and building a custom chassis utilising as many donor parts as possible but not where it would ultimatly compromise the end result...


If you want a realy interesting spin on the engine option look up correls 4x4 build

right first thing first lets get some terminology right, technically all the kits etc that have been mentioned as rear engined are actually mid engine since the engine is in front of the rear axle.

second i am right in the middle of designing such a car using the duratec 2.0 and the IB5+ gearbox from an ST150 it wont be a 7 style body but the underlying concept is similar. It is very doable and i would encourage any people thinking of doing it to go ahead but be warned designing a car is very much a case of picking 2 of the following at the expense of the third.

Do it Fast
Do it Right
Do it Cheep

Pick 2

I was going to do it cheep and shi.....








your right that it would be mid engined as the drive line sits behind the engine mass.. Unlike them 9xx tail waggers from Mr P..
