Why would you want a wider floorpan when it needs to be cut down narrower than a Sierra? And rear suspension would need further shortening too if you're starting off with something wider? Plus it still only houses a crap Sierra diff.

Made of chocolate I hear, plus it's transversely mounted.

Do you know if there is anyone who has done it before? maybe did a tutorial on how they did it? Its always nice to have some guidelines to refer to!
Have a look around the various build forums, it's been done a few times. I've seen a couple of RWD Mk6 Escorts done this way too, one with a Rover V8 in it.
