If you're gonna turbo it after, the transfer box WILL shit itself. They're notoriously weak. If you want to keep the engine trasverse, look at EVO running gear

if you're going to go cutting then you may aswell turn the engine round, make it RWD, that'd be great fun in a newer escort with a nippy engine
