Bit tight upfront, Andy, but I like your style!!
Eh? The A-Series fitted in there easily enough for the everyday cars, so I'm sure a tiny motorcycle engine would fit!
Motorbike engines have a sprocket output and no diff though.
Some motorbike's had a diff though I believe some older bmw motorbike's did, anyway maybe this website offers also possibillity's for bike-engined cars?

Really!
Why would a vehicle with one driven wheel reguire a differential??
I suspect Rene might be thinking of shaft drive, which BMW motorbikes have used instead of the usual chain.
....with bevel drive at the rear wheel.
Not a diff though.
When I said 'bit tight' I have to admit I was thinking 6R4 whereas obviously a z-Cars style front end leaves LOADS of space for doing such things!!
Mind you....
With the V64V, gearbox, step-off all out of the way I reckon both engines in the back and a prop forward to a front diff would be easy!!

bilstein 2 1/2" coilovers all round 330 mm disc BREMSPORT 4 pots UN1 transaxle brake bias hydraulic handbrake i've fitted the biggest charge cooler that PACE have ever made thats what you can see fron the back across the turrets cossie YB antilag system 8x green injectors HT racing head BD 10 cams low comp pistons ringed block engine alone was worth about £6-7 k i'll put some pics up later
its a 1988 MG metro and was copied from a real 6r4 parked next to it it even has the
V's in the rear arches that the v6 heads would sit in its a better faster more handling car than the real thing the engine produces more power and is ultra reliable unlike the rover V6 its got better brakes the suspension is fully ajustable and use's rose joints
adjustable TCA'S it has the best of everything and will weigh less than 1000 kg i reckon
mucho sideways action i think

Havent read the whole thread, but would something like this make a good donor?

Just switch the configuration so that the rear steers.
If only I had the cash!

Probably too wide as its a flat 6, although I may be wrong.
hey i was toying wiv bilding a replica 6r4 my self but was wondering wt the best metro is to use for a base car like wt model years also ive seen 6r4 bodykits do these fit straight on to metros as 6r4 was based on the mistro along with do u think a toyota mr2 turbo engine and running gear would make a good donor car as ther easey to tune and has the mid engine layout i know it wont be 4wd but im nt tht botherd about tht
