Its because a cosworth engined mk1 or 2 escort is best with a atlas axle in rwd format...the work involved would also be major and it ruins the great handling they already have...it has been done before but turned out slower with worse handling than a rwd one!

The mk1 bubble arched shell in my garage will be recieving a sierra floor pan eventually. I'm going to be doing some r&d of the running gear in a mk1 sierra 1600L. Is a Y reg sierra considered oldskool?
