Do they have like national contest to figure out the most outrageous and well executed vehicle chimeras? 2 stroke V8 with home-made hydroformed expansion chambers in a Volvo 122. Google up "Rudezon" for more details.

I contend that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Scandinavians. Seems like they have everything under control.

I wonder what they had to do to the oiling system with the engine oriented that way.

This is the most perfect spot for a GGA revival....... I guess I'll just have to go peruse some other bit of the interweb for a moment.

Its a 2-stroke. There isn't one. From the factory there is an oil pump that mixes into the fuel at a pre-determined ratio, but most people remove it and pre-mix into the fuel tank.

We have that engine on my dad's boat.

I first met one of those engines back in the mid 80's when I was tasked to bolt two of them on to the back of a transom. It was my first outboard install job. Also had to figure how to make one run backwards.

How exactly does a positraction rear end on a Plymouth work?

It is the natural order of things for Chevy to be behind Mopar.

that's a trick question: "Positraction" was a GM marketing term from the 60's. but it did work similarly to the Sure Grip differentials that Mopar used..
