Actually there is *one* option. Here in 'Straya we had an LS-1 AWD dual cab ute. A ute which was based off a sedan. So there are front differential units that fit under/through chev v8's and connect to kinda-road-car front suspension.

Find the US equivalent of that, and FWD suspension with similar enough geometry to your Firebird, and you'll have a spot you can attach electric front drive on your muscle car.

But unless you're the kind of person who thinks that putting an entire awd skyline gt-r driveline into a P510 sounds similar to work you've already done, I wouldn't bother thinking any harder about it than I just did. Just... Don't.

I do like the idea of those alter-motor things though. Concievably you can fit one if you relocate your power steering (mr2 electric-hydraulic pump) and air-conditioning (prius) pumps somewhere off-motor. Run a cam with a mild atkinson cycle... trchnical... blah blah... expense... yadayada... forever garaged... etc

Just how complicated are you willing to go? Just a new engine spec or are you prepared to fundamentally alter the way the car... is...?
