Answer:

A bra that can be filled with water to make it fuller and bigger.
yes some will like an old cadillac eldorado or toranado of the early 70s
yes but it would be a pain in the ***, cost a whole lot of money. and why would you want a front wheel drive car?
GM has a standard bell housing for the transverse FWD engines. Starting in the mid 80's they put some of those engines in the S-10 trucks so they made a version of the 700r4 with this mount vs. the regular rwd chev one. This is usually know as the 60 degree V6 transmission. The 4.3 v6 was a 90 degree engine so it used the V8 bell. In the 90's they also used some of these transmissions and FWD engines in the F body cars (camero firebird). The Eldorado / Toronado transmission was a non transverse FWD design used from 66 to 85. It was only made in the B O P bell, never chev. It also required a special oil pan to clear the right side drive shaft and the engines required special mounting points for the shaft. Oldsmobile and Cadillac engines of the late 60's- 78 had these items. 79-85 they also made a version of the Buick V6. This system was very similar to the mid 90's chev 4x4 truck suspension using torsion bars.
