Hi there! I'm working on designing and building my own buggy from scratch and I was wondering about engine and transmission combinations. This buggy will be not be used for racing, but that doesn't mean that speed isn't a priority. In designing the buggy, I hit a little road block. I want this buggy to have part time four wheel drive while the engine (either a straight 6 or a v6) is located at the back of the car, but I don't know which engines can be used with which transmissions, and can be used in this rear engine setup (which I guess is called an R4 layout). It also may be worthy to note that forced induction is more than likely going to happen lol.
So, which engine-transmission combinations can I use to obtain part time four wheel drive in a rear engine buggy? If so, which ones can get me the most displacement?
Is there a way to do this with an existing transaxle?
What are some other, non-traditional ways of achieving this?
Also, off-topic, but what is considered light weight for a buggy/sand rail?
