Converting a Honda Prelude from FF (front-engine, front-wheel drive) to FR (front-engine, rear-wheel drive) — that’s a very ambitious drivetrain conversion.

Let’s break it down step-by-step so you understand what’s required, what’s possible, and what’s practical.

⚙️ 1. The Starting Point: Prelude FF Layout

All Honda Preludes (from 1st to 5th gen) are front-engine, front-wheel drive (FF).
They have:

• Transverse engine layout.
• Front subframe carrying the engine + transaxle.
• No rear driveshaft tunnel or differential mounts.

To convert it to FR, you basically need to redesign half the car’s structure.

🔩 2. What’s Involved in FF → FR Conversion

This is not a simple drivetrain swap — it’s a full chassis + drivetrain re-engineering.

✅ Major Components to Modify or Replace

System	What Must Be Done
Engine Orientation	Rotate 90° to mount longitudinally (FR layout). Custom engine mounts + transmission tunnel cutting.
Transmission	Replace FWD transaxle with a RWD gearbox (e.g., S2000 6-speed or Nissan SR20/KA24 box).
Driveshaft	Custom driveshaft from gearbox output to rear diff.
Rear Subframe	Fabricate or swap in rear subframe with independent suspension & diff mounts. Often borrowed from S2000, Miata, or 240SX.
Differential & Axles	Install RWD differential (often from donor chassis, e.g. S2000, Miata, BMW E36).
Chassis Reinforcement	Weld in transmission tunnel, driveshaft clearance, and structural bracing. Roll cage or subframe connectors recommended.
Steering System	Front suspension geometry must be redesigned if engine orientation changes.
Electronics	ECU + wiring harness must be heavily modified or standalone ECU used.

🚗 3. Common Donor Parts & Hybrid Builds

Some successful conversions or near-equivalents:

• Engine + transmission: Honda F20C (S2000), K20 + RWD gearbox (KMiata conversion), or SR20DET (Nissan).
• Rear end:
  • Option A: S2000 rear subframe + diff + suspension — best fit for FR Honda builds.
  • Option B: Miata NA/NB rear cradle — more compact but still requires cutting.
• Front end: Custom tubular subframe for longitudinal engine.

🔥 4. Engineering Challenges

Area	Difficulty	Notes
Structural Reinforcement	🔴 Extreme	Cutting floorpan weakens monocoque; requires welding skills.
Driveline Alignment	🔴 Extreme	Ensuring straight-line between engine, gearbox, diff, and axles.
Cooling & Exhaust	🟠 Moderate	Radiator and exhaust rerouting.
Electrical Integration	🟠 Moderate	ECU remap, sensors, immobilizer bypass, etc.
Suspension Geometry	🔴 Critical	Front/rear camber and roll center must be recalculated.

💰 5. Cost and Effort Estimate

Component	Typical Range
Donor drivetrain (e.g. F20C + gearbox + diff)	$5,000–$8,000
Fabrication + labor	$4,000–$10,000
Suspension & brakes	$2,000–$4,000
ECU + wiring	$1,000–$2,000
Total	$12,000–$25,000+ depending on DIY vs shop work

🧰 6. Alternatives (If Full FR Conversion Is Too Much)

If your goal is handling balance or drift feel, consider:

• Mid-engine swap (MR) using a K20 or F20C (like some custom Civics/Preludes).
• “Fake FR” feel: Lock out front diff, use rear electric assist motor (hybrid RWD assist concept).
• Or simply tune the FF chassis — weight balance, LSD, coilovers, rear toe control arms, etc.

⚡ 7. Example Inspiration

You can check out:

• YouTube: “FR Prelude project” or “S2000 swapped Prelude” — some fabricators documented FR conversions.
• KMiata / KPower Industries for longitudinal K-engine mounting kits (for Miata base, adaptable to Prelude if you’re creative).
