I'm working through the details of planning a project I'd like to do and I'd want to weigh the pros and cons of putting a Fiero V-6 rear powertrain in my '29.

The front of the car would be a traditional looking front half of a phaeton (that's all I got in the pile of rusty sheetmetal from ebay). And under the front would be a 2x3 (or 2x4) steel tube frame like a T-bucket, but with a traditional '32 I-beam axle with split wishbones.

I really want to try and incorporate the GM V-6 Fiero setup in the rear. After all, it's a very compact way to get a modern engine, tranny, and IRS all in one package. One could probably pick any front drive unit and put it in the back, but the Fiero already has the special calipers to cover the e-brake function.

Has anyone done this? I've seen a nice CADDY NORTHSTAR crosswise in the back of a '32, but it doesn't seem very common. Any advice?

Thanks.
