[V8] Transverse V8 (wandering away from AC)

[Carlie Bentley]

Now see, I was thinking about making a 928V8Q hybrid but everyone says 
it wouldn't work.
Installing a 5 Liter 928 V8 into a V8Q even converting it to RWD and 
putting the 928 ZF in the rear end.
While it wouldn't be as fast as the 928, it would certainly not be slow 
by any stretch of the imagination.
Hell it would be better to figure out how to mount the 928 5 Liter to 
the 5 Speed V8Q Tranny and have fun roasting tires.
