[V8] Transverse V8

[Coleman, David]

> I buddy at work says the F 308 and 328(?) are transversely mounted

I  was thinking FWD.  The Caddy and Taurus all I know of, but either way
it's looking like the PT won't work sideways due to all the stuff that'd
be in the way of the VW's r/s drive axle.

I'm going to make a trip to my local Audi/VW yard to scout out possible
alternatives for powering the VW with my tired old V8:

1) Adapt a logitudinally-mounted FWD 4k transmission
2) Cannabalize a 4kq to adapt rear suspension and always-locked trans to
RWD scirocco
3) Transfer driveline of 4kq to quattro scirocco
4) Shut the hell up and find a 4.2 for my '91 v8 first.

-Dave

PS: I really do have to do something with this scirocco, and if I have a
slightly worn out 3.6 V8 sitting around, it seems like fate.  One
suggestion I really thought was crazy, yet not out of line given the
outside-the-box thinking already was to put a FWD trans and 3.6 V8 all
in the middle/back.   Then I'd have a nice big trunk up front...
