Hey Now, What's up folks?,

After owning and driving two out of the three engines in a bus, mentioned
here.
It seems to boil down to one thing (for me anyway ) :

There is no replacement for Displacement...

Question:
How can I get my front wheel drive V-8,
with automatic trans in my bus???
It would be so cool to have the
transmission moved over to the front of the engine,
so the engine is located where it belongs in the engine compartment.
And it wouldn't take up any room in the interior of the bus.
Plenty of power, good gas mileage, 20-22 mpg,
and the transmission designed to go with the engine.
An automatic, so all that is in my hand is my favorite coffee cup.
Or my lady`s knee... :)

Just dreaming, after all it is Friday, isn't it...
