That wasn't really what I meant.

I was referring more to the fact that it would be RWD with a short wheelbase, and how it would handle.

Yeah sorry, What I mean was.. I said to Danny myself "I take it, its going 4x4 due to the wheel base?"

He then said , no its not due to the mounting etc.. so its going RWD, But Danny seems to be sure it'll handle all ok with the work being done
Ford KA wheelbase = 2446mm
Mk 2 Escort wheelbase = 2408mm
Talbot Sunbeam wheelbase = 2413mm

short yes but no shorter than some other rear drive cars that have also seen similar power
