Steve monitors this list so may chime in here. But I've seen so few rear engine drives out there that I expect the sales have been so low that he decided to drop them. That doesn't mean he wouldn't be willing to produce one for you on request if he still has a shop available with the tooling to produce it. I would suggest giving Steve a call and asking if that's what you really want. He's a business man and will try to produce what you want if he can, or will explain why he can't.
