a FWD Car

Well, ahh, yes. Honda did that in 1968 or so. The car was called
the Honda 600.
>How did it work ??
Fine, as long as you didn't need to go any faster than a 600cc
motorcycle engine could make a car go.
>What kind of problems encountered ??
Lots of backyard types got a bit irate when they discovered that
you had to replace the whole crankshaft when the main bearings
wore out. Which was somewhat earlier than you'd expect. 8<0
Guess there was a reason the PO sold it so cheap, huh?
