Most drifters are 4wd.  Lock the back diffs, maybe get a front one way, get drifting tires and you're good to go.

Any car can be modified to drift yes, but some will be better than others.

Generally, locked diffs (front and rear, or at the very least rear), stiff suspension (stiffer in the back) and drift tyres is all you need

Just slap some hard drift tires on and you are good to go. Just takes practice to get good at it.
