My brother really wants an auto in his buggy but can't find one he is happy with. He runs a 6 rib now with a 4.3 chevy hooked to Mostly Street and sand driven. Any suggestions?

Can It be built to run in a Rear engine config?

Not unless you want one forward gear and two reverse gears, and the motor to be at least 18" behind the rear end. :mrgreen:

I am in process of putting a 3sp auto transaxle from a Vanagon in my wife's 2276 vw buggy. Dont think it would handle a 4.3 though without gear reduction thru a chain drive system. I do have a friend who is running a pretty powerful Acura motor rear engined with an automatic transaxle without chain drive, but its some kinda aftermarket somethin or other and he has BIG money in it.

Yes it can you just have to flip the rear diff. But it would be WAAAYYYYYY to far back for balance. Wheelies in park :mrgreen:
