That is a really neat way of geting the engine hooked up, looks like somthing you could make and sell as a kit. (looks like somthing I would like to buy as a kit

)
Perhaps not as good weight distribution as a mid angine installation but on the other hand much easier to install, minor modofications to the car and the engine is still sealed of from the coupe.
What final drive unit is that? Did you weld a new bearing position on the front of it and what kind of bearing? How did you align it with the engine output shaft?
Did you get a good gear ratio?
Where did you find the parts for the reverse drive? I guess it is an electrical reverse sitting on the left of the engine?
I put the engine to its orginal place (rear) because I'm going to try get inspected that car with MC-engine, and if authorities doesn't prove that I can easily swap the orginal engine back and get it registered.
Here in Finland those inspection regulations are even stiffer that in Sweden.
Final drive is from some Opel omegas and I had to shortened that so that the engine doesnt come too far back.
That reverse motor is from golf cart and it is starter/alternator, thats why it's so big. It's too lazy for reverse, it doesn't have enough power to move car.
I have now a new startermotor to build new reverse system.
I don't remember the exact final gear ratio, but I calculated that top speed might be around 175km/h
Gear ratio should be little longer, but it be fine for now.

Hi PenttiN! Thanks! And the same to you, nice project!

What engine is it? How did you do with the shifting? Wiring?
Regards Jon!
Thanks Jon!
I use boat throttle cable as a shift wire. It operates both ways, pull and push.
I might have to build linkage type shifting system, because with that cable, shift lever movement is way too wide.
