Default RWD and a transverse mounted engine

Is this possible? and if so, is it a fair old game to do it properly?

Yes its possible, but involves more transmission losses.

Usual way is to basically get a 4wd transverse car and replace the txb with a solid bar basically, and then run no front drive shafts.

Ironically its something I am planning to do later on in the year for an article im writing.
