I've been thinking about getting a fiat 850. I like the look of it but I'm not stoked about it being four speed and it has a CCW engine
Would the Porsche 914 transmission I've got in my shop, be strong in reverse? rotating the engine 180 degrees so it's reverse facing and putting a CCW engine on it. thanks, Quentin |

If the engine can be mounted transverse, check into Honda transaxles. Up through the early 90s at least their engines also turned "backwards".
I don't know of any longitudinal-mounted Hondas that have that same reverse rotation. --DD |
