might wanna get some deeper gears for that 6rib..... my 1915 don't run mine around on the trails well... hills its nice cause the wheelspeed but that 1776 will have issues... go mid engine 4.3 dave.... just to be different.... if someone makes an adapter to shift that nosecone 6rib in mid engine configuration i just might do it myself....

there is a lot of modifications to the tranny needed to even attempt this setup not to mention a "one off" adapter plate to mate the engine and tranny to one another, personally i wouldnt even try it with a bus tranny

if i wanted a mid engine vw setup it would have to be a "built" car tranny since the only mod would be flipping the ring gear, but thats just my opinion
