Or take any engine and change the cams/starter motor/water pump to make it run backwards.

I was going to add to my previous post that I'd be less worried about what the last few years worth of fuel have done to the hoses, and more worried about what the last 25 years of UV/Ozone/Heat cycling/Salt/etc have done to them.

I know it's an issue with 'old vehicles in general'. The reason I wondered about T25's and VW's specifically is that VW have had a massive presence in South America for a very long time, and South American countries have been using high% ethanol mixes in fuels for a very long time (sugar cane alcoho...

Interesting idea. Think you'd be doing some serious chassis chopping to make it work though. Most FWD drivetrains sit in front of the axle line, and are quite tall. That's not really where the engine space is in a T25.

Depends on the box. If you go from a four-speed commercial box to a five-speed Caravelle box it's a massive difference.
