[V8Vairs] Perfect Transaxles for V-8 Corvair?

[Sethracer at aol.com]

I took a few minutes at the Factory Five booth at SEMA earlier this week. I 
 discussed the new Mendeola (5-speed) transaxle that will be a factory Five 
 option for their GTM kit car early next year. They had one in the booth 
with a  prototype Mendeola installed. It is designed to mate to an LS series 
GM motor,  will contain enough mounting points to allow the rear suspension 
loads to be  absorbed. They try to use as much of the C5/C6 Corvette parts as 
they can, so  perhaps some of those suspension pieces will be used. The 
price $9000 - A bunch  of money. So why not a good G50? - They are available, 
around $3000 for a  low-mileage good one. (LA Porsche Dismantlers). 
Suspension will be up to  you.

Select the link for new  version 2, then scroll down to see the  Mendeola 
transaxle. It's only money!

I guess  I take a slightly different look at this question.  For me,  the
question is what is the ideal transaxle for a mid-engine  Corvair?
