Why is this? On a transverse engined car this is not the case. Is it because
the driveline normally passes through the center of a car (for front engine
rear drive cars)? Or is there some other reason for the center location of
the crank? And if it the driveline reason, is there anything preventing a
car from having this stuff off center? If the weight difference was
compensated for with other equipment to distribute the side to side weight
evenly?

Not a flame Brian, just curious.
