![]() The unibody supports RWD/AWD. There's a bolt-in kit that allows people to stuff a 289/302 in the nose, facing the correct direction, and an 8.8" Mustang rear axle in the back. If you use the 4-lug 8.8 from a fox body Mustang, you can even retain the stock wheels. Talk about a sleeper!
Also, the WRC cars are AWD. Perhaps it's a sign that Ford is planning a street AWD version in the near future?

![]() Back in the 90s and early 2000s, Ford used to make Escort Cosworth RS in AWD configuration and turbocharged from the factory in UK.
