A Corvair transaxle could be used. It was used behind (well, in front of!) the four 1V and turbo corvair flat sixes. Like the VW/Porsche design, it can be "reversed" by mounting the ring gear carrier on the opposite side from the factory rear engine position. Shifting (if a stick) would be similar to a VW transaxle -- I don't know how they rig the shifting mechanism when the transaxle is flipped. A better idea might be to look at longitudinal mount front drive auto transaxles -- Chrysler LH series, Eagle Premier, and Audi come to mind. Would require a custom adapter though. I can see Tom running around with a replica Indy car now!! I like the Track Roadster idea best, exhaust running down the side of the car (be careful getting in and out!).
