The general problem with inboard brakes on a rear engined car,  is the 
diameter of the brake disc usually intrudes on the  engine/clutch/bellhousing space. 
I am not saying it cannot be done, but that  makes it tough. Of course, with 
a Crown-style V8, the end flange of the  transaxle where the Corvair 
bellhousing bolts up is no longer critical to  the power-flow. It could be cut away for 
Brake disc clearance. -  Seth
