No one has done an awd swap and few red... Post pics of your build. I'm sure I speak for us all when we say we are curious to see
Yep. That's a 350 alright.
Can you get a vid of it doing donuts? Lol love to see it.
Sorry about the old build pics.they are from the build in 09. The car is in winter storage and thats all the pics i have.I set it up old school skinny tires in front and 295 50 r15 in the rear they fit in the wheel wells. no rubn. The stock hood shuts with air cleaner.And its fast pulls tires off the ground in two gears. little scarry to drive somtimes. To lite its like drivn on ice. I would really like to do this with a olds bravada awd drivetrain. I think it would hooh up good.So alittle help and ideas would be cool.
Another month yet to much snow in the ditches yet. Cant just drive out of them when i plant it in one.
you lifted the front tires up in two gears with a 200hp 350?

The engine was reworked.About $2800. Lots of head work and cam.A buddy of mine works in a engine shop.so i had specal help makn powerNot sure what he did exactly but it works.Hes guessn the hp is closer to 400 hp. And their is nothing under the hood but the motor.battary in trunk. no power steer.wipers and all its hard wear.no heat,ac,radio.Its striped just a body so it weights nothing.Would like to scale it just to see what it actually weights.And as far as the tires comin off the ground only on slicks and a full tank of gas. It normaly just spins on my street tires.And most of the engine is behind the front tires for good weight transfer plus 411 gears help also
After years of kids coming on here and asking how its done, you just show up on here with pics of the working car and start asking questions. I raise my glass to you sir. Silly question, but what about instrumentation? Are you using the stock dash or something else? I'd love to see pictures of this thing inside and out when spring comes.

Paying someone to install parts and bragging about it being fast, is like watching someone bang your wife and being proud to raise their kids.
Isn't a 96 Z28 already RWD?
i find it amusing that SHOoff has nothing better to do but follow me around & be an unhelpful dick in even cross-forum. - Jon Mick
I think he made a typo and meant Z24, he only has a '96 Cavi in his profile.

you have a 96 z28 with a 350. and you want to build another with AWD? would it be better to ask a camaro forum?
or did you mean a 96 z24 with a 350?

I was completely confused as to what he was asking until I looked at his profile pics.

like the population of JBO hasnt given someone crap before for a typo. lol
i was confused too until i looked closer at his pics and saw it was a cavalier with a 350 in it.
i think the OP is on his own. nobody i know of has done an AWD on a J.

Best bet would probably be to measure the wheel base, and then start measuring subaru wheel bases until you find something that fits.\
Or, a 4x4 S10, but your going to have to do a lot of chassis stiffening either way.

Put cavalier body on modified s10 frame, someone posted a pic of it long ago
