Greetings,
I have been into Vettes, Kits and customs for over 30 years,
I sold my project Mako vette to get back into the grass roots kits, here is  
my car,

In the past I daily drove VW kits and one VW based kit with a Buick V6 off  
the VW tranny what a poor idea that is,
 
My car now is VW based but has a full frame, the front and rear suspension  
just bolted in so I can change drive trains without too much hassles.
 
The design of this car would take a lot of modifications to run true mid  
engine, even running FWD in the rear wont work as it too would require too much  
cutting of the car and loosing 1/2 the cockpit behind the seats.
 
So the last way to get better power is rear engine but to make it more  
complicated I want auto transmission and in Florida AC is a must.
 
I would dream of having 175-225 HP but could live with 150HP
 
I was looking at the stock Corvair Powerglide 65 and later drive train then  
was told I Corvair engine isnt very street friendly after 150 HP
 
Then I see you can hang water cooled engines off the Corvair power glide in  
the rear, this would be wonderful,
I find a marine reversed rotation v6 I feel a v8 is just too heavy in the  
rear and that would do it,
I really dig the power curve of the Buick v6
 
But I still have interest to avoid water cooling to just use a well built  
Corvair engine,
 
I am still making up my mind what is best for me and what I want.
 
So my questions,
Anyone running the PG auto tranny with a  water cooled engine hanging  off 
the rear?
Any one in or near Orlando building cool Corvair stuff?
 
Many thanks
Cheers,
P.
