=== Integrated crankcase and transmission === Several cars with [[transverse engine]]s have used an engine block consisting of an integrated [[transmission (mechanics)|transmission]] and crankcase. Cars that have used this arrangement include the 1966-1973 [[Lamborghini Miura]]<ref name="netcarshow.com">{{cite web |title=Lamborghini Miura SV (1971) |url= https://www.netcarshow.com/lamborghini/1971-miura_sv/ |website=www.netcarshow.com |access-date=12 December 2018 |language=en}}</ref> and cars using the BMC [[BMC A-series engine|A-series]] and [[BMC E-series engine|E-series]] engines.<ref name="aronline.co.uk">{{cite web |title=H and K-Series prototypes: BL's first attempt at replacing the A-Series |url= https://www.aronline.co.uk/facts-and-figures/engines/engines-h-and-k-series-prototypes/ |website=www.aronline.co.uk |access-date=12 December 2018 |date=22 July 2017}}</ref><ref name="ateupwithmotor.com">{{cite web |title=Tiny and Triumphant: The Morris / Austin Mini |url= https://ateupwithmotor.com/model-histories/original-mini-history/ |website=www.ateupwithmotor.com |access-date=12 December 2018 |date=1 May 2010}}</ref> This design often results in the engine and transmission sharing the same oil. Motorcycles such as the [[Honda CB750]] use a similar layout, with the cylinder block and crankcase integrated with part of the transmission. Many farm [[tractor]] designs integrate the cylinder block, crankcase, transmission, and rear axle into a single unit. An early example is the [[Fordson]] tractor.
