Flipping it doesn't reverse the rotation of the trans.  It just puts the
"tops" of the tires on the ground so that the wheels turn the other way.
The Kelmark mid-engine kits did this, but with a 4-speed, so that there was
greater legroom in the passenger compartment than was the case in the Crown
setup.  If you wanted to have a mid-engine Vair with an automatic, I suppose
this would be a solution.  I understand 'glides are pretty durable.  Has
anyone done this?

2    You want to use another engine...without reversing it!


Isn't the torque converter directional?  Aren't there vanes and stuff inside
that aren't going to work effectively with reverse rotation?
