Default MK1 Escort 4x4 Conversion

Hello all,

I've found another thread in this forum asking the difference between floor pans and wanted to see if anyone could confirm the information.

https://passionford.com/forum/genera...-cosworth.html

The suggestion is that there is a difference between a RWD and 4x4 in that the 4x4 has a larger transmission tunnel to accommodate the front prop-shaft and cut outs in the front chassis legs to take the front driveshafts.

Therefore I assume I'll be needing a 4x4 chassis regardless of manufacture date, the question is which one? Aside from the wheelbase, are Sierra XR4x4, Sapphire RS Cosworth and Escort RS Cosworth chassis' fundamentally the same remembering I want to build it up to Escort WRC spec?

I also dug this up while searching the net for more build info, does anyone know anything about this car and where I might be able to find some more info?
