Looking at buying a Corolla or something along those lines, then swaping in a new engine. Looking at a 2500cc Turbo engine of some kind. So 3 questions. Live in a snowy hilly area, so looking at the 4WD versions.
1. For 4wd, I'll need a fwd engine, correct?
2. Is it easier to buy a manual 4wd car already and just change the engine, or buy the engine and transmission from a different car and match the transmission to the 4wd? My main worry about adding a v6 to a corolla -like car with its standard transmission would be blowing the transmission.
3. Given these, what engine/transmission would you recommend? My dream would be to add a Rb26DETT plus the Skyline trans.. but Im open to more practical ideas.
Thanks!!
