Re: [AMC-List] rambler hot rod // backwards six

The diff and trans are BESIDE the engine, with the drive axle running between the bell housing and engine oil pan. There's a large chain from the rear of the torque converter over to the front of the transmission, which then goes forward and bolts directly to a differential. Think of it like a 4x4 transfer cas mounted directly to the back of the bell housing and the trans mounted where the front driveshaft would normally go. That's exactly what it is!

IIRC the TER front drives put the engine pretty much over the axle - neither in
front nor behind. Might need some weight in the front to keep it from becoming a
wheelstander. :)
