Actually we do have the hump in the center of the car....but whose counting.....

well, to be fair that hump is for the exhaust pipe. on a RWD that hump is just about double that size to occomadate the driveshaft and transmission.

Only double the size in the firewall.....

I'm not saying that it can't be done or anything.....but more of a project than I could handle that'* for sure.

Eh, not worth it. Just throw it on a RWD Chassis and be done with it.

The AWD isn't totally impossible. I know theres at least one gm AWD tranny that will bolt up to our engines. I think it was in the 6000?
Of course it'* still gonna be hard to make that trans hold up to a lot of power. And theres still a ton of custom work involved(axles, blah, blah).
