why not just keep it nrth/south and mount it up the front like they do on the v8 trikes

You'd be lucky to find one that would fit, the Holden nee Buick 3.8 was used in FWD cars in its previous life but not in anything out here, you'd have to be looking to the US to get that.Probably be more hassle than its worth, as would trying to adapt something else.Look at some other options, what about a Nissan VQ30 out of a Maxima!An all alloy motor might be a better idea anyway.

I think you'd be creating a lot of unnecessary work for yourself attempting to adapt a FWD transmission to your Holden. Better idea would be to find a FWD V6 engine/trans combination and use that.

maybe easier to find an old buick setup, same base motor but made in front wheel drive, everything you need is there
