V8 bug

[coffinator]

I am trying to keep it as stock looking as possible. I was going to try to use a porshe tranny and stock swing arms. We have a guy that builds custom drive shafts for anything. I haven"t figured out how i am going to hide the v8 in the back seat. I was going to just cover it with some steel panels that have been undercoated to reduse road noise. I need to know how long the porshe tranny is from the mateing surface to the fearward most point. My biggest fear is that i am going to have to extend the bug because i don't want it to far foward. I will be using an electric waterpump. Haven't figured out where to put the radiator. I don't want to put in in the front and have to cut big holes for air. Any help is appreciated.
