Pazzo Donating Members 11,132 Member For: 14y 4m 19d Gender: Male Posted 22/03/11 05:50 AM Share Posted 22/03/11 05:50 AM was just having a chat to a few mates when one came up with an idea to convert a ba/bf to awd. what would it take to put the zf 6speed with transfer case and front awd set up out of a turbo territory to say a ba/bf. what issues would arise and could it be done. im not saying we are going to do it, but would be intrested to know? with money anything can be done, is suspension changes,front end issues.and what would you think it would cost? traction would be awsome though.

bcl Toughest BA Turbo Lifetime Members 3,408 Member For: 22y 2m 17d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 22/03/11 08:01 PM Share Posted 22/03/11 08:01 PM I looked into a Territory awd transplant 6 years ago into my BA, but it wouldn't fit, plus I'd have to change to an auto, which I didn't want to do. FG may be different.From a post of mine in December 2005 "They actually did all the 4WD R&D with 2 BA sedans, in outback testing & in Norway(or Sweden, can't remember).... so it can be done." Like many things it's a matter of how much money and patience you have.Far more sensible just to buy a Territory if you want awd, or buy something like a Nissan gtr.Maybe you could refer to someone in Ford engineering.Like a lot of projects you can throw a lot of money at it, but it may never be the result to the standard you really want.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
