I learned something new here.  Apparently Ford approached the GN34 project 
from 3 different directions?

-- One was an Italdesign showcar project from 1984 called the Ford "Maya." 
Italdesign site says the engine was rear transverse.

-- A second path was to have Roush do a few mules made out of front half of 
deTomaso Pantera bodies.  The back half had to be fabricated, it looks like. 
Anyone know whether the engine was transverse in these cars?  If not, what 
tranny?

-- A few mules AWD mules were made out of EXPs, the "sporty" version of the 
Escort.  (Kinda reminds me of Bryce's SHOpaz.)  Those EXP-based mules must 
have had the engine rear-mid-mounted in north/south orientation, right? 
What tranny?

Yeah, that's more like 'em. Similar to the link I posted earlier from the
Roush guy who had a brief description.

Someone who was at the Roush museum in Michigan sent
these to me.
