So this is what the Giocattolo was based on... anyone know what sort of arrangement it was in those? Transverse? Longi?

What sort of box?

Possibly 164 setup in the rear, or Subaru STi Transaxle (longi) or Renault UN1-13 Transaxle (Longi)

Yes Borat, I think its a hot car too

Longitudinal 2.5 was the original I believe.... think it was ZF?

But you were thinking transverse, weren't you Ben?

Apprently the WRX idea isnt too far fetched, I found this:

Its actually easy to make a scooby box 2wd, and fortunately because the scoobys started out with a high front end torque split the box is not too weak when run as a 2wd box (although nowhere as near strong as say a propely designed transaxle)(just look how small the diff is for example). You need to strip the box, remove the centre diff, and have a "spool" centre machined, effectively this simply fixes the power input (which normally goes to the outside of the centre diff, and is then split front and rear) to the front output shaft. then rebuild the box with the rear output shaft removed and blanked off, and there you go, one 2wd scooby box.

Could be made to work for a lot cheaper than a ZF...

Probably lighter too, and for the cost of a straight cut set from PPG, you would still have spent less than a ZF, and would have a choice of ratios

I was thinking a transverse setup in a Fiat X1/9...
