I can't see why not, you should be able to get decent sprngs/shocks ( ask dave from ajps). I think there are guys in Japan that drift them but I'm pretty sure the one I saw had a 4age in it? With as much weight as you've got you might need a better motor. 1ggte has been done, but I saw one at a hill climb with a 3sge in it with side draught carbs and it hauled!!
