Has anyone ever seen/made/heard of a mid-engine El Camino?

Seems feasible.  You might need to use another car's transaxle to shorten the distance between the rear end and the engine.  It would have a nice weight distribution, too.  

I seen one with a blown BBC in the bed. I think it was a wheely car. Wheely car have serious weight transfer.  

Yeah, I remember seeing someone put parallel V8s in the bed of a truck.

I'm looking to do something a little more race-worthy, so I won't want a lot of added weight from driveshaft inversions.  It'll also need to stand up to a half hour or so of racing.  

2 words,plasma cutter! just don't hack up a nice one please,use one of those 78-87 g-body clunkers,a nice pimpy diablo perhaps? or a fancy choo-choo customs conversion.those are called choo-choo's because they should have been left on the train tracks after being built!!!!!  

Yeah baby, they're butt-ugly.  That's what makes them so beautiful.  

'78 - 87 G-body clunkers?! Hey now!  

No, no.  Not G-bodies.

Just crossovers:

Haha.  Maybe.  I just stole the original from maddox.xmission.com.

Anyway, I'm really liking this mid-engine camino idea.  It would be frigging brutal.  The weight distribution is perfect.

I think some of the kit-car guys have ways of mounting Chevy engines to Porsche or C6 transaxles.

If only I could get everything to fit under a deck lid... maybe I can use a moon manifold with Weber carbs?  No, crap.  You'd want to do an LS engine with the low-profile intake.  Unless you're broke, which brings me back to square one.  

Car Craft,

Please build this.
