Yes, the purpose for inverted engines is to allow normal prop
positioning and ground clearance when using direct drive. You might
also consider either the 440 Ranger (200 hp), or the Lom 337CE (250 hp).
Note that they rotate in opposite directions.

I have heard the biggest advantage to the PSRU is that you have two or three
bearing points absorbing the shock and loads of the prop before they affect
your engine. I agree the BB chevy could handle the radial loads but I don't know
about longitudinal loading. It was never designed for the push/pull of the
prop. I don't know of any proof to this.......that is why I am asking.
