AWD Small Block muscle car???
i know everyone here has seen some durka durr 3rd gen chevy lifted up on a trucks 4x4 drivetrain with mud tires.

71ish chevy on 33's
now my question is:
what is the possibility of a awd drivetrain being fitted in like above BUT...
having the car built for handling purposes? like, lowered, minimal sidewall tires, front and rear LSD, fully gutted/caged with an LSx? it could be used for autocross or trans-am style racing.
can it be done using some truck drivetrain?

I don't think so with a truck drivetrain...
In most trucks you are advised not to use the 4WD system on pavement, only on surfaces that allow for some give, like dirt gravel...
However, I did read a story in Chevy Hi-Po about a guy with a sprayed 5.3 in his 1500 or something along those lines and launch at the track with the 4WD on.
I guess if the front and rear have the same gear ratio and the same height tires everything would be ok...

I've actually been half thinking about getting a typhoon and putting a slammed s10 body on it. Not much of a difference, just a truck as opposed to the suv.
Not sure if there really was any older style awd cars, atleast that size. I cant quite remember.
