It is the factory transmission like the olds Torinado where the engine is mounted axially? I have not had time to watch the video but this is a cool project. Props again to y'all.
Bingo you got it. The engine is longitudinal with the torque converter attached to a chain drive on the back, the transmission then sits alongside the engine and the differential is sort of in front of the engine. Very strange but IMO rather graceful solution.
