Another comment about this: Rather than reversing the engine, simply flop the final drive, or, if the tranny case won't allow this without a lot of machining, turn the transmission up side down. The gears are still loaded the same direction, but the axles turn the other way. Joshua Van Tol -- jjvantol@lear.csp.ee.memphis.edu
