- I always thought the rear from the AWD Buick Rendezvous, Pontiac Montana, Aztek would be a good candidate for use in the MGB-V8. Aluminum cross member, SLA independent suspension. Should be cheap. No

- I don't believe that the Rendezvous rear is capable of full torque. It is an AWD based off FWD set up. I think it only is designed for about 40% of torque. Edd Rogers A Unistaff employee representing

- James, In an AWD vehicle there is a central differential that doles out the power to front and rear of vehicle. Typically there is 60% alloted to the main axle and 40% to the secondary. If the vehicl

- OK, I'm following. You were describing it's limit as a % of the total drivetrain rating. While I personally wouldn't take the risk, it could probably go higher, as the inertia of the MG at a standst
