Yep, still FWD. It uses the entire transmission system from the original Cadillac but we machined adapters to the Toyota bellhousing/crank bolt pattern.
It'll sit down more once we finish putting the front back together and fit a hood. My girl works composites so when the mechanicals are fitted up we are going to mold a new hood with an included scoop. It is torsion bar suspension so it's fairly easily to adjust the bars a few degrees so it can sit back at OEM height as well.
Brilliant. If there was a lengthy build video series, I would watch it.
I wish. Our work has been too sporadic and too spread out over the past year and a half to make a good video out of. And we don't ever remember to record anything haha.
