The front wheel drive was set up with the engine (500 cubic inch big block) in its usual position, not turned sideways and the trans bolted on the back with a transaxle kind of set up. (60's engineering) Must of had some serious torque steer though. I knew it would lay some serious rubber.

The trans was really a TH400 with the tail shaft changed and as for torque steer it wasn't bad because the cars had equal length half shafts.
I think the Eldo's went front wheel drive in '67, so that would be. I had a '76 coupe de'ville when I was in college with a 500ci engine and it made a great road trip car. It was even fuel injected so I got 10mpg on the highway. It probably would have looked good with some digital guages in it, what do you think JBB
