Re: going to build a rwd out of a fwd
yes
Just make it super clean looking for tech.
Rules
# 3.18: Fuel Bulkhead: The fuel-tank area must be totally separated from the driving compartment. For example, if the fuel tank is in the trunk area, any openings between the trunk and the cockpit must be permanently sealed with bolted, riveted, or welded metal panels. OE fuel tanks that are separate from, and located completely below, the trunk floor or rear-cabin floor are acceptable. If the fuel tank can't be completely separated from the cockpit by metal panels, a metal-encased, FIA-certified fuel cell with all related compliant fittings must be used.
# 3.19: Fuel, Oil, and Coolant Lines in the Cockpit: Any fuel, oil, or coolant lines that pass through the driving compartment must be encased by heavy-duty conduit, durable steel or aluminum pipe, or strong metal plate. OE metal lines in good condition in their original location are exempt from this rule, but encasement is still recommended.

Exactly what we did with we switched from FF to RR.
As LTR there said, make sure your firewall is clean and sealed up tight.

Per Rule 3.25, 24 gallons is the maximum size non-OE tank size permitted. So he might have to refuel once. Overnight.

OSHA would be proud...
I am quite surprised I didn't hurt myself rushing to finish this for the Eagles Canyon race.
