rwd zetec?

My biggest concerns are going to be 1) will the subframe bolt in fairly easily, 2) I'm going to need a rear end that can hold up to abuse.

I would prefer IRS, but if they can't hold up to abuse, then I will try to come up with solid axle ideas.

I know you said zetec which I'm all for, but you could use a duratec 2.3 from a ranger, it already has the tranny and everything and they are plentiful. Then again having as zetec powered car already would just mean a tranny swap beside the rear end fab work that needs to be done.

The shell I'm picking up is literally just that. Im getting it from another member on here. It is a stripped down shell, and i mean stripped down. So, I can honestly go whatever route I would like to, but I prefer to stick with the Zetec.
