I like the idea of using a FWD Mopar engine for a hot rod. But just the engine.

There is a rod that graced the cover of Summit's catalog that was built on an S10 4x4 chassis, and they modded the driveline to act as an AWD sport suspension (versus off road capable). Kind of a neat idea, really!

FWD in the rod? Nah, no good. But a 2.5 as a power plant? That'd be great!
