Well I was just kind of joking around and posted the idea of a Twin Turbo AWD LS Swapped FRS. I have been toying around the idea of going turbo because it sounds fun. AWD was more a joke, but the more I look at it, the more It may work (with some cutting involved).

The biggest issue right now is what transmission/transfer case and front diff. The Trailblazer SS front Oil Pan just so happens to be front sump and has the clearance for the front diff. So maybe adapt the transfer case to fit the back of the T56?

Current Oil Pan:



Vorshlag Oil Pan:



TBSS:



The back would need cut and moved up to clearance for cross member. A custom tubular cross member may be the best way to go about it.

So if the transfer case can be mated to the t56 I already have, and I don't have to cut too much out of the trans tunnel to clear the transfer case/front drivesahft. Next is the steering rack/steering shaft possibly being in the way.

There is a Syclone running around with a T56 custom mated to a Transfer case used for road course. So it a possibility. Just the work that needs to be done. I will just have to keep collecting knowledge and parts until this is something I attempt.
