Re: ZF Trans swap



My recollection is that to use that transmission, you'd have to turn 
it around (or put the engine in between the seats!). It is designed 
for a car where the engine is toward the front (Pantera is a lot 
longer behind the seats than a DMC).

The ZF that has been put in a DMC (Brandys) is from a Porsche where 
the engine is behind the trans.
