Re: converting 156 to rwd

does the 159 4wd just have a diff at the rear or is gearbox/clutch assembly at the rear too?
have looked through net and cant find any pics


probably aint as complicated as you would think.just a case of making up new mounting points for things thats the hard part.
would have to spin the engine round 90 degrees into a longditudal arrangement which would need engine mounting custom made plus a transmission tunnel would need to be cut and a new gearbox sourced ect.plus ancillary wise you would need custom manifolds and exhaust system but it opens up loads more space for free flowing exhaust and intakes,would be really special but alot of work which is why i said i was just looking at the feasibility as its not someothing i could afford atm
