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?

hi mate there is a difference in a 2wd shell and 4x4 ,2wd has a different shaped tunnel ,witch would need modding to take the transferre box of the 4x4 gear box not a hard job really and probly need to mod the gear box cradle if you went down the 2wd tunnel route hope that helps
