This is not a step by step guide, it is an explanation. But it should provide most of the info that people need to complete the swap on their own.

Be sure to read the video description for additional information.

An AWD C70 - now that would be interesting.

Agreed! The process would be the exact same.
Not that a convertible cruiser like the C70 would really make sense being AWD from a sales perspective, but it would definitely be a fun car!

For some reason, the first thing that comes to mind is a slightly lifted AWD C70 blasting through the unplowed snow with the top down.

I'd want AWD just to improve launch. FWD just shifts weight back and the wheels spin. LSD helps, but nothing like adding a little push! I think I've got the understeer tamed, so not too worried about whipping through the turns.
