would it be possible to convert a fto to rear wheel drive or would it be point less and to costly

Do a search, it has been brought up quite a few times....

IMO it would be too expensive

would that be because of the chanell in the floor or something like that

if you are going to go to all the trouble of making it rwd then you might as well do awd.

The FTO already has a decent enough cavity that could be used as a transmission tunnel, its the firewall that would cause issues with space trying to fit in an AWD gearbox (which you would need as there is no way to fit a traditional FR gearbox to an FTO engine.

Would be really expensive. Possible? Sure. But no-one has completed one yet.

Do it, it's a heaps cheap mod and really pretty simple can almost be fully DIY. Then when you're done with that, maybe practice using the search function.

I think the best argument against a fto to rear wheel drive convert is the cost vs what you can buy for the same money. like the Maserati 3200 GT a twin turbo 3.2L V8 That revs to 7000rpm and get this intrior <a href="http://s50.photobucket.com/albums/f303/ ...

nice choice .. still very FTO looking

I bet you'll then be wanting to save up & sell the 3200GT for one of these;
