The drive shaft along will cost yo alot I looked in to it. But fwd is better for autocross for the most part. But it would be cool. But then you have to do the shift linkage the mounts and rwd dsms are mostly drag cars. One drift car I know of but it's to much for unless your aiming for either of them.

Then google.
Then read old postings about it.
Then ask.

 :'(  i just pulled off the the valve cover off the engine, i figured why the coolant is coming out my exhaust... my far right cylinder smashed my spark plug, and is now filled with a milky green liquid, from what i figured; i believed that the 4th cylinder? is just pumping it through and that the other 3 cylinders are doing their normal compression, i just need to find out how to take it all apart and this is pretty new for me.

its a big job, not something you can bash out in a couple of hours.  The timing belt and everything on that end of the engine has to come apart to be done properly.

Intake manifold, fuel rail, wiring stuff, cam angle sensor, exhaust manifold, turbo piping etc etc etc.  Then you can pull the head.  Then send head out to good machine shop to have it checked, planed, and new stem seals put in.

Then you need a head gasket set, new oil and filter, new coolant.

Then you get to assemble it all properly, and pay attention to that stuff, because if you do it wrong, you will be doing it again.

this is on the SC400 that you traded?   If it is they are a crap load more diffucult to work on and to find parts.  If your spark plug got smashed and is filled with a coolant/oil mixture... well then i would guess that your going to be looking for a new engine.


good luck, your going to need it with this car.  Hopefully your good at wrenching.

no i didnt trade a sc400 for the talon im planning on trading the plymouth laser for the sc400, and then going for a 1995 + dsm, but first i gotta take appart everything.  and your saying lexus sc400 has harder parts to find? probably but this is a good deal. and i get 2000$ on top of the trade.
