Hi, I am about to embark of a Kit Build based on an MGF. The kit is from Dehavilland Motor Company and is a Ferrari Dino Replica. Being an attention to detail person I want to use a 2.4L V6 and I've thought about the KV6 engine/gearbox. My question is as the KV6 is designed as a front wheel drive solution if you mid mount it you will need to turn it around to get the gear linkages facing the gear lever which would now be in front of it. How do you get the gearbos to provide 5 forward gears and one reverse as in the new orientation it would be 5 reverse gears and one forward? Also does anyone have any thoughts on the KV6 as there are a lot of negative comments out there on the web regarding water pumps/heads etc? Thanks in anticipation. Martyn
