Engine Position and Torque Output

When working on my car, often I use my ratchet wrench, but I need more torque so I elongate the handle with a pipe or longer wrench. I'm using that thought process through this question:

Can the placement of the engine and drive wheels change the torque output? So if the engine is in the front and the car is RWD, would it have more torque then a front engine, FWD car of the same hardware, everything else equal?

No lever arm advantage if the shaft is rotating along its axis rather than around a point.
