making a 2006 LS4 Monte Carlo rear wheel drive ?? Has anyone considered this ?
The new LS4 Monte is a sweet ride, but it's FWD.
Using a cheap 4 gen 6 cyl F body as a 'doner' car for all the front/rear suspension pieces.
Replace the trans with a 'good' 4L60e.
Trans/driveshaft tunnel fab work.
Is it do-able, or too many issues that can't be worked out.
Or, would there be a slick way to make it AWD with some 'standard' GM transfer case going back to an F body rearend setup ?
or is this just too crazy...

RWD Monte......... I think it was Hot Rod magazine or maybe CarCraft, did an article back in 96' or so that showed how John Moss from G.M. used an entire floorpan from an fbody to convert a Monte to RWD. It was one swet ride. Look it up, it was cool.
