nipper i think you just turned a 2 year project into a 1 year project. Your way I can be on the street a lot faster with a lot less work. Now I need to get started.

Yes mid engine behind driver but in front of rear wheels. With the corvair motor out back it was a bear to drive real fast streight but don't try to turn. I don't think the vw trans will stand up to the bigger moter as good as the new trans will. I may go with this but would like to see if I could just cut the pan in back of the driver and weld a new rear section. Some one told me the Sooby was a cable shift and new longer cables would work, i don,t know. The radiator and battery will be in front. The car is less than 4 ft tall and simular to the Ford GT 40. I will try to find a totaled car and salvage most of the parts from it. What do I look for year model and which motor and trans. I wont to go fast but be safe in the turns.

Hi. I'm new on this site and hope some of you can help. I have a 1966 Aztec GT Kit car I built it in 1966. It is on a VW pan with a corvair motor on the vw trans. It has been setting for 30 years and it is now time to re-do it. My idea is to put a Subaru motor and trans mid engine, use the Sub rear and adapt the front shafts to it to solve stearing problems. The car now weighs about 1500Lb I hope to keep it under 1800lb with a new tube frame. I have welders .cutters plasma cutter and am willing to try this, but I will need all the help and ideas I can get. PS. would like 250 to 300 HP. I need to eat vets.
