Type-4 engine in a rail buggy?

[Rowdy]

I've seen a couple (rare), but was wondering if anyone has any 1st hand experience with mounting a Type-4 engine in a rail buggy?

If so, please share your experience. I'm planning a rail buggy project and a friend is donating the engine and tranny from a '73 bus. Most everyone else is telling be to use a type-1 engine.

Rowdy, Check on the www.shoptalkforums.com and go the the type4um. There are some buggy guys on there. Personally, I don't see any problem fitting the engine in a rail buggy at all, it bolts up just like a type 1.
