Re: Rear Engine..

I'd be curious to see that up close. Not for me but interesting.

Re: Rear Engine..

Mid-engine!! So cool. I have had that same idea. Talk about handling. I'd want a full-body though. I'd like to find a video on that

Re: Rear Engine..

That's wild! Put the same motor/trans set up in the front and really have something! 4 wheel drive, 4 wheel disc brakes, 4 wheel independent suspension, 4 wheel steering.

Re: Rear Engine..

Roadkill did this setup on on another truck also. 60's ford that originally had the engine between the front seats.

I believe Dirt Every Day did a Caddy with a full setup in the front and back. I think they just locked the steering in the rear.

I remember years ago someone building a twin engine Dodge Shadow. Can't remember how it turned out.
