not to mention floor plan would need working on to house the prop, brakes, suspension, all need doing

its alot of work is it really worth it, by the time you bought all the bits, it may be more worth while just buying an r32

O2m fwd

It wouldn't be just a V6.  It would be a R32 powered car running fwd.  With the saving in weight running fwd the rolling on performance would be better (**depending on road conditions) than a full 4wd esp if he fitted an atb diff
