Will a G50 work in a teener with a 3.2?

As far as I know, the ring and pinion in the G50 is not flippable in any way. So running it inverted is the only option for a mid-engined application.

The good news is that rumor has it that the G50 was actually designed to run in a mid-engine race car, so in reality it's running inverted in a 911. It's supposed to lubricate better mid-engine as well. The Ultima GTR is one of the fastest cars in the world, and the only mod they make to run inverted it is a vent relocation kit. They have managed 720hp with a stockish G50. I wouldn't say it's bullet proof at that level, but it gets the job done.
