the R32 is AWD right? if im right and it is, how do the rear wheels get power? is it like a transfer case that is always engaged? or a FWD transmission with a PTO type thing? i’m just wondering if, with extensive modifications, it would be possible to stuff R32 guts into a Caddy. ---

I’m just curious why you’d take the R32 “guts” and put them in a vehicle that is most likely heavier and clumsier than the R32 itself? ---

They did this swap into a rabbit last year… Using mostly hand fabricated floors/strut towers. It is not for the timid. I’m probably going out on a limb and being an ass, but if you have to ask how it works, the swap might be a little over your head. Maybe you should start with a VR6 or 1.8T swap if you feel ambitious. Researching that kind of swap and getting valuable information can also be done on the vwvortex, plus those two motors are readily available and the swaps are common so you will get lots of info. My only advice is to use the search button more then the post button, and you’ll be ok. ---
