<VV> moving vair engine ahead of axle

[Ramon Rodriguez III]

First of all, thanks to all for the great advice on the panel install.
Lots of good info there that will be a big help.  Also I'm a big fan of
POR-15 myself... in fact about three hours ago I wire wheeled the inside of
the panel and applied POR-15.  I'm going to use fiberglass matting to
reinforce the rusted bottom portion of the panel from the inside, I've done
many POR-15/fiberglass repairs like this before and they hold up really
well to year round driving.

Now on to the new topic.  At the Buffalo convention I saw a Corvair that
someone had converted to mid-engined by basically installing the stock
drivetrain backward, with the engine in front of the axle.  What is the
cheapest home-grown way to do this?  The idea I'm working on is for a buggy
type project using the stock late model Corvair chassis but I need to
eliminate the long overhang behind the rear wheels.  I do still need high
gear to be forward though, not reverse!  The project would be using a
powerglide, not a manual trans.  The whole idea of this is to have some fun
and be creative but use only parts I've already got so no crown parts etc.
