I dont want to butcher the car so rear engine is a must

What  would be sweet is a mild Buick v6 hanging off a power glide in the  
rear  
can that be done?
Perhaps you guys know a better lighter engine to hang  back there and how to  
overcome the reverse rotation  thing

Many thanks

There were a couple of famous Laser 917 cars built with Corvair motors,  
although neither had a PG in it. The Movie "Herbie goes to Monte Carlo" a Disney  
movie of the 70's, had a pair of them. Both were powered by 140HP Corvairs 
with  4-barrels installed. The bad guy, Eric Braeden drove one. (The other was a  
spare.) Look for a quick flash of a Yenko Stinger in the "qualifying" 
session.  (Hey, the Check cleared!) Anyway, there are a number of motors that can be  
reverse rotated to attach to a Corvair Transaxle going the original 
direction.  Chevy V6 motors and V8 motors were available, as you noted, for Marine Use 
to  drive counter-rotating Propellers. There are a lot of parts that need to 
be  swapped. - Seth Emerson
