My thought was to mount the engine/transmission as a rear engine. This has been done on many VWs and buggies. Any suggestions for web sites where I might get information?

does anybody know the distances from the transaxles to the front of the engine and from the transaxles to the tail of the transmission? What is the shortest version of this layout... that is which Subaru model would be shortest? (should this topic be in another forum now?)

I am at the investigation stage, but it would be desirable to use Subaru engine and trans and definitely rear wheel drive.

Hi from Brantford Ontario Canada. I just bought a basket case 69 Lotus Europa and am investigating engine/transmission transplant possibilities. The Europa had a north/south Renault engine in a mid engine location. I owned a Subaru sedan in the early 80s with a boxer engine and loved it. Any advice is appreciated.
