Riiiiiight....
With the right amount of money, anything is possible.
In my opinion it would just be more cost effective + a better platform, to buy a RWD car than to convert a car from FWD to RWD

There's a Guy Named Larry in Kansas that converted a TI Shadow to RWD with a 400+hp Holset Turbo'd 2.5 Hybrid motor w/ a MKII Supra tranny and a Dana rear end (I think) that is a mid-11 second car.
I can understand that because it's a cheap car and it wouldn't break anyone's heart to see it hack up but to do that to an SRT-4 or something like an '89 Dodge Shadow Shelby CSX-VNT or Shelby Lancer or Daytona IROC R/T would be just tragic.
If you wanna do something like that, please, use something like a Shadow ES or 1gn 2dr coupe or Daytona ES.

I wouldn't say Tragic.. because they are just run of the mill economy boxes from a failing company.

You can order RWD anything you want from Rick Jones, Jerry Haas as well as many other chassis builders and it would still probably be cheaper than converting a FWD car to a RWD car.

Well I'll need money to pay them and a car, first.

no need for the car. it will be a custom built car with a full tube frame.

Wow, this is a new development. Didn't know people did that sort of thing.

Yes, they are mainly produced for Comp eliminator, Pro Stock, Pro Mod and similar type classes. But if you want one they will build it.
There was a 1gn Pro Stock car about 8 years ago. It ran high 6s in the quarter

ok, so it's completely possible. you need some custom motor mounts, a jeep 2.4 bell housing, a jeep 2.4 MTX flywheel, a supra 5 speed trans (early on they talk about just swapping in a 2wd jeep trans, but it's not gonna be gared right for a car application), a supra rear end, and a custom drive shaft. i did a little research into this...
that's just a general idea of what all you'll need.
