I knew that, I just had an senior brain-fart moment.

That's roughly what a torque tube drive does.

Okay, okay, this may sound really stupid but I do have a theory about this.
What if the engine, trans and rear end were mounted on one frame unit,
attached at the front of the engine and the body was attached to another
length of frame with springs, shocks, etc. between the two frame sections.
Kinda like one long ladder bar, of sorts that hinges at the front of the motor
with all suspended together with coils and shocks between. I know this is a
lot of unsprung weight but it could be managed and even eliminate the
driveshaft.
