Passat, I see no relavance to your post? People are hanging WC motors on Bus trans's everyday including myself. We simply add rear mounts to support the weight. OP I would look into Subaru or Ecoteck as they have been todays best options. Ther are many of them being used and there is a lot of info and help avalable for them.
No relavance? Somewhere up there y'all have competition.Y'all decide.You WILL take a smooth rocket hill , you may get a running head start on a steep one and use your inertia. But 1/2 way up a steeeep rugged one and you punch the power, your front end will come up and you will HAVE to let off the gas and restarting on a cliff with a cannon ball in the back is haaaard to do. Who said it , I said it. The one who has wasted more money and time just trying to figure this out.Put an ol boat motor strapped to the front and that is just more dead weight to push.
I loooove w/c but Ray Charles can see some of the faults in it.I've been beat by someone's daughter with an 1835, because I could not apply the gas! About the best way I could keep the front end from raising up every time I grabbed a quick grip was to lower the oil pan but here comes that big rock in the middle of the road.My baby chain buggy is sagging real low and has 22" under the oil pan.The c/v's are nearly straight across with only 1" of angle dangle.And it rides soooooft!
