[sm=dontgetit.gif]. Its really almost a total waste of money man uless your building it for strictly track use and the thing is gonna run 10s. It s a novel idea. Im not shure about RWD conversion. www.allpar.com might be able to help you.

Sounds like an idea. Its gonna be expensive and require a lot of custom work. If you have the experience to do it yourself it won't be too bad, but if your gonna pay someone to do it forget it, its not worth the time and money.

RE: converting a neon to rear wheel drive
What I plan to do to this car is take it to the max! I want to drop in a V10 viper motor just because i have never see it befor. My cars have been known to turn heads, and thats what i am going for, pure shock factor. I have the ability to do my own work and I have the tools. The way the car sits in its current state it is a head turner with it House of Color highlighter yellow paint job and all of its performance modifications, But its just still not enough!

LOL, I would love to see a V-10 in a neon that would be cool as hell. I would think that your gonna have to stretch the frame, or drive from the backseat to make it fit. That would definalty be a shocker.

RE: converting a neon to rear wheel drive
my boss has a 1995 dodge neon with a to-the max small block 400, rear wheel drive, straight pipes, wheelie bars...etc. it is only for the drag strip though, but it will run low 7's. only thing is that he had to build a custom chasis, then cut the body off of the neon and set it on the new frame. lot of work but the neatest thing you will ever see.
