I actually used that trick to help replace the front control arms on a friend's deuce and a half (we didn't have a big enough jack). Yes, we did put blocks under it as jack stands once it was up.

“Street car capacity is achieved with riding qualities which bring ejaculations of surprise from every new load of patrons. “ Some interesting quotes in there. Not sure I can imagine a worse drive mechanism than worm drive.

boxen posted:Ooooh, red calipers, it's the performance version This particular RV (GMC) is completely different from most RVs. The FWD and swing axles in the rear allowed it to be much lower, and have a flat floor all the way back. It's also an all-fiberglass body. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GMC_motorhome They're pretty cool, and were fairly advanced for the time.

Sadi posted:“Street car capacity is achieved with riding qualities which bring ejaculations of surprise from every new load of patrons. “ The Peugeot 404 had worm drive. "Instead of a conventional crown wheel and pinion differential design, the 404 had a worm drive, allegedly to create a lower rear axle profile for extra suspension travel. Its bronze internals required a special castor oil blend."

I think an old air-cooled VW transmission would work as well, no? That'd probably be fine for the amount of power that'd come from a 3-cylinder. I think a Subaru transaxle could be made to work as well, but you'd need a reverse-cut ring and pinion to make it spin the right way (I think that's something that exists), and to disable/cover the driveshaft that'd normally power the rear wheels.

Most bus transmissions like the 5/6 rib will need R/P replacements. They both are easy to get gears for. The subaru box is a semi popular alternative in the vw sand toy crowd.

Hadlock posted:Has there ever been a mid engine inline 8 If you use the standard definition of engine in front of the rear axle and behind the front axle, a bunch of them. e: The Auto Union Type A, B, and C cars were all rear-mid engined V-16s. ee: The Cizeta-Moroder V16T had a rear-mid transverse V-16 And 4 popup headlights

Well sure using that definition all Bugatti made until the 30s was mostly inline 8 mid engine Maybe what the world really needs is a 5.3L inline 8 bolted to a Porsche G50, hanging out the back. We can call it 'badonkadonk'
