How can i make a 1987 FX-16 rwd??

Well i am thinking of purchasing a 1987 FX-16 corolla, but want to know how hard it would be to make rear wheel drive. Where to get the parts, can i use many of the factory parts, is there a place that seels a whole kit with everything i need including rear end, driveshaft, tranny, etc...? I just want to find a place that has a kit with absolutely everything i need in it. Let me know, i dont know much about the corolla yet but i want it to be my next project car, im just in the process now of reading and reading this forum, so hopefully i will learn some stuff quick.

Want an answer? NO.

Theres no "Kit" to do that, period. If you want to make it RWD, you're gonna have to do it from scratch. Plus you'd have to do ALOT of chassis mods, theres no place for the driveshaft in the chassis. Since you're asking for a "kit" to do it, I'm inclined to think that you're not gonna be up to the task, so my advice is dont even start it. Keep it FWD, its plenty of fun as is.
