Question type: Car Customization

Can you take an engine designed for rear wheel drive purposes and side mount it so that it be used in front wheel drive configurations?

the transmission would be wayy too long. plus it would only power one wheel. making it impossible to drive

well it really depends on the engine, but it would require a lot of fabricating to mate the engine and transmission
