I think its all a bit more complicated than that regarding positioning of engine, gearbox, diff .. and rotation of them.
My Corvair has the differential at the rear wheels, the engine attached behind the diff, and the gearbox in front off the diff. The gearbox/diff operate as normal .. but the engine rotates anticlockwise and drives a shaft through the diff/gearbax, back to the input shaft of the gearbox. The gearbox is a modified (but largely standard) Saginaw manual or Powerglide auto ...... its all very weird.
