The only application I have ever seen of that transaxle used in a swap was in a Jaguar V12 into the front of a Corsair Monza.

If you want a fascinating read about a fascinating car and an even more fascinating guy, check out the build. Make sure you go through all of the pages...

I was lucky enough to meet Jay and drool over this car years ago.
