Good luck with that.
so we would just need the front subframe, plus the mtx-75 with the male splined output and the ptu. then the rear subframe, diff, axles, driveshaft, hubs and brakes. add shipping and vat from England and id say its a done deal...
although a AWD cougar or contour stateside would just be out of this world:laugh:

Too bad, would love to have AWD with 400 whp, that would be a blast.

Great pictures. Looks like with this setup you would also have to switch to rod shift. That's not a cable setup. Either way, it would be a blast to have that setup.

Reminds me of the Audi Sport Quattro S1 - http://www.supercars.net/cars/104.html - 600HP and the Pike Peak Hill Climb. I was there and saw the start - amazing. Mondeo 4X4 would be wickedly fun for sure.

Without some wizardry it probably wouldn't be possible with the v6. These are all 4cyl. The trans is really weird the more i look at it, not even sure where the starter goes. Which is also different now that i looked at it agian.
Both of the cars i took from are mk1 wagons, but if you look at the first pictures with the rear subframe complete, the trailing arms are like a standard car you would see here.. But the knuckle and 1 piece style trailing arm posted later is completely different... Some sort of revision maybe.
The 3 piece driveshaft is really bizzare, the xtype uses a 2 piece u joint style.

At this point I'm starting to think I'm one crazy SOB but I do have a V9 Vortech and a 3.0 with Stage 2 heads - soon to be all forged internals - and I do want AWD.......and the trans is the only hangup with my idea at this point. Yeah, he said only lol. Somehow someway I'm going to figure out how to mod a Quaifed mtx75 with an output shaft......then Jag X Type the rear up......mod the torque split to 70/30 to keep said Jag diff from exploding......I like dreamin' 'cause dreamin' will make you mine

Diff isn't the issue Transfer case is. Xtype offers 0 bolt on rear suspension components with our car - would have to be all custom.
So, good luck with that.

Damn the more I dig the more obvious it is why nobody here in USA has done it. But, there is somebody in Britain that has. Just don't know how to find him. Terry said the rear subframes are similar - not direct bolt ons - so at least there's a starting point. Idk makes me want to give up.

Said they are close? Not sure what he is looking at, nothing close about that. Goumba was the closest to making this happen, custom rear subframe and suspension arms http://contour.org/ceg-vb/forum/gene.../42596-awd-1wd he fell off the earth. Someone has done it on a mk1 or mk2 mondeo with a v6? Doubtful. Some guy was doing it on a st220 which is the mk3 chassis
All this is very cool in theory, none of this is worth it. If you want a fast awd car buy a evo or sti it'd be cheaper, faster, more reliable than anything you can build on this chassis.
