The Toronado/Eldorado drivetrain has been used in kit cars for some time. It is very heavy and puts the engine too high and actually has more weight behind the axle line than in front. I have spoken to several people with this installation and they all said it is very tail heavy and the handling suffers alot. Using the SBF would help with the excess weight but you still have the high mounted motor with its high CG and the rear weight bias. Some Lambo builders have turned this around and moved the differential, and flipped it, to get the weight more to the front.
