I'd do it that way.

Yep.   Play-pretend that it's a genuine car engine/transmission.   It 
would even be in-line like a "real car".    Stick it up-front and 
fake an old Morgan body or the like...

That's where I'd have needed to go lurking the bone yard since I'd 
had no experience with any IRS outside Vairs and Vettes (and some 
Fiats), none of which lend themselves well to such a project.

The Datsun trick seems workable.

Me, I'd as soon not wanna be rowing through the gearbox trying to 
drive around town.  Give me something with some torque.   A 1100 
Suzuki has some bottom end and will still scream with the best of 'em.


Of course, all this is moot...  I have too many projects waiting on 
me as it is...  might be able to get something done if it would STOP 
raining now and then...  it's rained damned near every day for the 
last week anna half, nice all day until it's time to get off work, 
then comes the thunderstorms.    Rained again a few minutes ago.


I need a BIG garage...
