Thurman,

The Lotus  Elite and Eclat are front engine/ rear drive with independent rear suspension.   They're reasonably priced and project cars are quite inexpensive.   They're only suggested as options...  the J-H will do just fine.

As I mentioned before,  I suggest doing something more creative than installing the front J-H engine, Elite, Eclat or early Esprit engine mounts.   If you have to do some fabricating anyway,  you may as well end up with something more substantial.   The only reason I mentioned the Turbo Esprit was to suggest that you look at the rubber components of it's front engine mounts.   They're a much better solution.

Good luck

Tim
