Chevrolet Cavalier Forum : “is it posible to change a front wheel drive into a rear wheel?”

Yes it's very possible and has been done many times.  Here's a link to a 1st gen http://www.nitrostreet.com/Z24.html  That will cost a lot of time, and money.  You're better off doing an engine swap.  Maybe an LA1 (3.4L v6).  That's what I have in my 2nd gen.  Put a header alone on that engine and you'll have about 220hp, 255tq.  Enough to have an SRT4 worried, but you prolly wont win.  You can check out my Z here  http://www.v6z24.com/registry/troublesomez24racing/   I recommend signing up at www.v6z24.com, and www.j-body.org.  The members of the .org are not very welcoming to newcomers.  But their site focuses on 3rd gens, 95+.  V6Z24 focouses on 82-94, but we have some 3rd gen members there as well.  We actually have a current thread open on a RWD cavalier...Link here...  http://www.v6z24.com/jbodyforum/anybody-here-have-a-rwd-v8-cavalier-conversion-besides-me-t108029.html  Hope that's enough info to get you started
