I am restoring a 1977 Triumph TR7 and have been contemplating engine swaps. I'm not looking for an extreme FE car but I want something different. The GM LS swap has been done to death. So, on with the crazy idea.

Would it even be possible to take a mid engine RWD set up and move the engine to the front and leave the transmission in the rear? Ending up with something like the newer Corvette set up with the transmission connected to the engine via a torque tube.

In my warped pipe dream I was seeing the V4 from an Alfa Romeo 4C in the front of my little Triumph and the mated transmission in the rear.

Physically, I'm sure it wouldn't fit, but would it even be possible? Is there anything other than money that stops someone from doing this? If anyone could figure it out, I figured it would be the brain trust here at Ecomodder. Just something to maybe take our minds away from the troubles of the world. Even if only for a few minutes.
