Icon6 back from the dead for a AWD ZE1 build.

Hey everyone, been over a decade since a post but been a while since i've been here all together. I want to start a ZE1 AWD build but am struggling to find info on rear end fab for a ZE1.

going to be pretty embarrassed if someone links a thread. Tried some searching and couldnt find much,

Thanks!

I can find mounts for the K swap but nothing to go AWD

LHT Performance has one or two they have documented. The rear is fully custom. The aluminum unibody makes welding custom brackets on a bit more involved.

I have a k24a2 swapped Insight. It really doesn't need AWD. It dead hooks on a 195 summer tire. Just no weight to get moving.
