It is just the 800, and V series that are fwd.. The 2,7, and 9 series are rwd.. AND fit well with a csb engine in it.. Its kind of a popular conversion here.. You can actually buy a kit with engine and trans mount, strut reinforcers and so on..
FWD didn't start until '93 in North America with the 850 and all-FWD/AWD didn't come until '98 with the retirement of the 960/V90. Just avoid 850s and anything after '98 and you're set. I am like you in that regard, I hate FWD.
