I just bought a donor car off eBay. Didn't notice it was a Continental until after I made the bid. Is it possible to make that engine a rear wheel drive?

not a pro by any means, but I believe oil circulation would be a big problem moving from transverse (front wheel drive) to longitudinal (rear wheel drive) engine mounting.

The continental engine is a different block with a different bell housing bolt pattern to bolt to a transaxle instead of a transmission. Sorry, but it's probably more work and expense to try and use it than find another one.

Thanks for the help. I will go with a RWD engine.

Contact the selller, ebay will let him off the hook and he can relist, you both just have to volunteerily cancel the transaction.
