Yeah, but how do we simulate the fact that transverse FWD engine setups have become much more compact and well packaged, and the fact that you'd be unlikely to be able to fit a decent sized 4 cylinder etc in a very early transverse setup? Every picture I can find of a 40s transverse FWD setup has a huge gearbox compared to more modern ones (and the Mini's gears in sump setup)

Could you do some trickery with the gearbox size? Have massive transverse boxes to start with, gradually getting smaller with time / research?

Edit: although i'd love to see bottom mounted / sump gearboxes

Maaaaybe... worth pondering, but probably quite difficult.
