I was eyeballing this and just wondering how possible is this Transmission for a mid engine setup?

Should there also be a bell housing? If so, It looks like axles would be way to far back.

Should there also be a bell housing? If so, It looks like axles would be way to far back. No, the C5 and up Vettes use a torque tube that houses the driveshaft and bolts between engine and transaxle. I think there are adapters to bolt the engine directly to the transaxle, but I would assume that this would put everything way far back. You would probably end up cutting the rear firewall and moving it forward to fit. Not to mention that transaxle is really beefy and heavy. Doubt it would be worth the trouble. |
