AWD vs RWD

The plan I have is to do a very budget build.

Shed as much weight as possible, for now try to make the best out of the stock suspension, was planning to cut the front gear section out and replace it with a tube. Engine for now will be stock long block, but port the heads add M1 single plane 800 Edelbrock, 380 create engine cam and headers. Swap in a 904 trans.

Unless there’s a good reason to keep it AWD.
