    33 Rod using FWD transaxle

    Is it possible to get a frame modified to house a FWD bases powertrain similar to a Ariel Atom? I'd love a 33 rod with a Mitsubishi or Honda based turbo 4.

    Right, could do it myself. And I'd say I have the capability. Problem is time. I'm at the point in my life with other projects, I'd just as soon buy it setup.

    They could open up the options for the car to a wider audience by making it a factory option.

    you may need to expand on your thoughts a little do you mean front engine FWD or moving the engine to the rear? Why not go 4wd?

    Hi,

    The 33 Hot Rod is only configured by Factory Five as a Front/Mid Engine Rear Wheel Drive configuration supporting Small Block Ford or Small Block Chevy (New or Old generation) type engines. Any other drive train configuration/layout would require customization/fabrication work by the customer, as no other drive train configurations are supported by Factory Five at this time.

    Thank You
