They are used in the 40 builds, I think its a no brainer perfect fit.

The only other one worth a toss is the reault v6 with transaxle , espace, alpine,deloreon etc. still cheap and available.




Anything other than this confguration will make it fat at the back with unequal length driveshafts and short bones. If you dont fancy these engine I am sure there would be an adaptor for the renault/audi trans to pretty much any lump you want.
