Engine sits with the cylinders running the length of car. Drive shaft driven.

If I were to build another busa powered buggy,it would be front engined. I think it would sit the driver/passenger  just a few inches further back in the car but open up a LOT of space behind the driver/passenger for all kinds of things without upsetting the F/R weight bias.
