Is there any way to convert a front wheel drive car to rear?

Question

have a 07 cobalt ss/sc and i was just wondering

Answer 1

You will have to change the engine and trans as well and by then you'll bassically have a camaro, unless you REALLY like the look of the car and plan on keeping it a while, I'd go buy a real ''sporty car''...front wheel drive is total garbage in my opinion...unless you're driving in the snow, you don't need it

Answer 2

With this particular car it would be extreamley difficult, if not impossible, and it would caust more then you paid for it.

The front wheel drive layout, allows the conventional tranny "Hump" near the front foot wells and the corrosponding Driveshaft hump that runs back between the rear seats to be removed.  this is why the Front Wheel drive cars have a perfectley flat load floor.  Look at any rear wheel drive car, and you will at the very least see a bump in the floor between the rear seats.

So, their really would be no way to transfer power to the rear because of the layout.

Answer 3

Honestly there is no simple or cheap way to do that. Grant it is possible, but alot of money is needed to do that. You need a new transmission that will bolt up to your engine and you will need to rotate your engine so it sits in your engine bay vertically instead of horizontally. Also with that you need new drive shaft, axles, shifter linkage, etc.
