RWD Del Sol?
Has anyone ever attempted to swap in a f20c or f22c motor and do the RWD conversion into a Del Sol before? I think that would be pretty sweet but most of you would be like "what for?" just get an s2k.... just wondering cuz it would be something different than the usual

They did a B18CR rwd conversion in the late 90's....it was turbo'd and made 450-480whp
It was a mid-engine conversion
An FR layout in the del sol wouldnt be worth the effort --- an MR layout would be and has already been done.
Rather than worry about expensive conversions I would say a twin cam del sol could easily make the power youll need and handle just fine for street duty.
Different for the sake of being "different" isnt always a good thing....you could tear up a Del Sol and stuff a number of engines in an FR layout but again --- why tear up a perfect del sol?
Its a waste of money and thats why you wont see it.
FD, AP1/2, Silvia etc...a number of FR platforms already exist....no need to take an FF and make it an FR....if anything the MR setup makes more sense in those chassis...

4 wheel drive sol is pretty nice too but it cost a left nut and a leg.
I figure next time you wanna take your sol offroad slap yourself in the face, same thing for this setup if you wanna drift get a sr20det 240sx
