That's a KelMark / Mid Engineeering setup....  check with Ryan Counterman 
"Vairking at aol.com"[?]  adapters for sale!

Sorry....Corvairs and early Hondas are the only engines  that turn this 
direction from the Flywheel end...   remember Vairs have the FW at the FRONT of the 
engine.....making it identical to all others..actually..

You don't know about Crown v8's?  How about AELLC    "Super Vairs"?

Actually nowadaZe it makes more sense"$$$"  to go FWD  in the back...

I had a Chenowith tubeframed street legal car done up the way you 
describe...but with Vair power...
