How come we never rotate transaxle 180 and then reverse rotate the V8?
There are marine versions and marine cams can reground for higher hp.  Most
of our engines are older V8s.

NOPE  the engine is turning the wrong way...you'd just have 4 reverse gears!

That's what you do to put  a Vair in the middle......Cut the 
bellhousing....rotate 180  and reweld...
