yea this was in one of the magazines a while back. its awesome!

I reckon that red one looks great .... BUT ... i am not a fan of engines in the rear of the vehicle. Just imagine hitting a tree or a car head on at 80+ km/hr ..... think of a sandwich .... you would be completely fu#@ed!!
But looks good though

im assuming the blue one is chev powered and the red one ford...didnt look toi find out more than the distributer location.. i wonder what the do for trans/final drive.. have seen autos used in tricky spots b4 with jag rear ends fitted backwards and belt driven of the back of the transbut it lifts the centre of gravity too much in my opinion...anyone got any idea how these 2 are done??

Porsche transaxle? Some of the Alfas ran transaxles but I don't think they would be up to a serious V8.
