Why the spewing of all the venom?

[427SSSS]

I posted similar thread on Factory Five Forum, it won't open now, or I would, cut/copy.

AL_C posted, suggesting front wheel drive Cobra, wheelchair guy enters from rear trunk, awesome idea, I'm asking Opie to stop 289 install, look for front wheel drive set up, PLEASE, open to all suggestions ideas for front wheel drive set ups.

Sure, not a Cobra drive train, but were I confined to w/c, (heaven forbid) I'd be more that pleased to be driving cobra "look alike", rather than a boring old van.

AL_C, AWSOME IDEA,!, thanks you.

BTW, No trolls on that other site on my thread.

FF5 forum finally opened. so here is cut/paste AL_Cs post.

A thought from the peanut gallery: interesting idea to have the Vet roll into the car from the rear. In this case, you want the entire rear of the car as low as possible. What about going to a front drive orientation? There are lots of high performance options for front drive cars, and given the weight of the chassis, you don't even need that much power. Front drive allows you to redesign the rear end without any interference from differentials or axles. You could have an IRS off a standard front drive car that leaves much of the trunk flat - and low. Just my 2 cents.

I'm buying two bags of peanuts!!

AL_C. I'd like two bags of peanuts!

You know, your idea of front wheel drive is intreging.

I think, we're I confined to a wheelchair, (heaven forbid) id be more than happy to be driving a Cobra look a like, rather than a boring van.

Sure, not Cobra drive train, but equal power/tourq could be achieved. The tunnel would be negelable, roll in back, simplified ramp, awsome!

Wow, awsome, where the he'll were you when I first started this project?

Opie has not installed 289 engine trans yet.

I like your idea so much, I'm asking Opie to find front wheel drive set up.

Open to any and all suggestions for front wheel drive/engine, PLEASE!I

THANK YOU AL_C when this comes to fruition, you have my hat off to you for offering an absolutely fantastic suggestion
