New thought on an auto build.(Need Opinions)

[tsd123]

I have two awd Talons right now. I have one that runs, and one I just got with no engine. I'm planning on swapping motor and trans into the 91 I just got. Along with my struts, and springs. They are both 5 speed cars, and the body I'm taking all my stuff out of is a bit rusted. It needs body work. I'm thinking about taking every salvageable part off the 90, and keeping it all in case I need spare parts. Then buying a trunk type fox body, and finishing the build on my spare motor for it. I would be using a th350 or 400 with a shift kit, and stall. The fords 8.8 would be fine besides posi unit, and deciding on the gear ratio. I just want some thoughts on this.

fox's are proven to do amazing with pretty much any engine with the proper setup. DO IT

Its been done. There's a thread in the build section now,but it would be a fun project in my op

i slapped a LS vette hybrid motor that ran mid 10s using all stock LS parts.. the only thing that wasnt stock was the pistons and cam becuase when i bought the motor one of the cylinders where scratched up pretty bad and they didnt make a cam big enough for what i needed.. i would live seeing an old awd fox body DSM...

I think he's doing rwd but, I agree it would be bada$$ to do an awd one.

Yeah it will be rear wheel drive. It will be a while before I get to start on it. I'll be looking for a body this year. I have to finish my Chevelle before I start on a new project. The only thing I'm not sure of is the oil pan.
