[AMC-list] Mid-Engine AMXre:

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

Just remember you'd have to do something with the axle tubes though. Ideally you'd need another Eagle axle to rob of the left side (when in an Eagle) axle end and short shaft. Then you'd need to find two equal length shafts to use on each side. This would make for a long drivetrain though. Using the Eagle axle as is would make the vehicle more of a mid engine, but a custom oil pan could put the Eagle axle between the flywheel and engine similar to the Toro/Eldo setup. Just lock the transfer case in 4WD. There are some low car haulers made from 4x4 trucks cut off at the back of the cab with the transfer case locked making them front drive only. The back is a low car trailer grafted to the truck frame. Hmmm.... do that with an Eagle with a 4.0L (or rather a 4.6L stroker, probably would need it)!!

Like Andrew said, if you turn the Eagle diff towards the back, the rotation is correct for going forwards with a RWD motor/trans setup.
