RE: the Navarro Rambler Six...



Wonder if the recent Mustang Cobra independent might work, there are
sure to be some in junkyards by now. If you take a look at a Cheetah
(60's Chevy powered AC Cobra competitor) I don't think they used a
driveshaft at all just linking the tranny to the rear end like Tom said.

there oughta be transaxles you could use -- porsche, for example.  not
cheap but available and strong...

i have the vague feeling that some american car - corvette maybe? - also
uses a transaxle, with a front engine.

and you could always just directly couple a 4sp to an irs diff.
