The BMW was rear wheel drive already.

Unless you feel like owning a Calibra that owes you $50grand then it's probably not worth it.

Yep to convert from FWD to RWD or AWD to RWD such as a Calibra you will need to build the car as an ICV which as Playwme says will cost $$$$

That's why you could do it to a BMW or even find yourself an Opel or Vauxhall Monza to convert to a V8 as most of the conversion will use off the shelf V8 Commodore bits and you would end up with a much better looking car than a Camira Hatchback oops sorry Calibra.
