I thought about doing this as well, so I'm interested to hear how the thread goes.

One thing I could never quite picture was how the gas pedal would work?? Two cables which would somehow be switched?

Recently I found a website where a guy installed a turbo engine in the REAR of his Honda CRX. He just dropped the entire front end of a Honda Accord in the rear, so the car became RWD. Hooking up the shifting and everything worked out surprisingly easy. It gave me the idea that instead of limiting a project like this to just 4x4s (not generally very aero cars) to do some major mods and drop a front end in to the rear of a FWD car like this guy did but hook an electric motor up to one of the axles. The CRX guy did the whole thing on a tight budget and it turned out amazing.
