<VV> Corvair engine overhung, no rear mount.

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 For a Corvair tranny, to be sure, you need to support it, the bellhousing just isn't that stiff or strong. But for a VW/Porsche tranny with the Crown, Kennedy, et al, adapter, there's been no problems I am aware of. Not sure what other trannies have been used, rear engine cars not being the most popular things out there, for reasons I simply do not understand... LOL

I wouldn't say that without exception, but not from Corvair transaxles,or other bell housings or adapters that were not originally designedfor such.  Support for the current rig under question is not identifed,but was said to be non-VW, I believe.
