Hmm - now that I think about it --- better stick with the stock location. Get the mounts on the correct sides. I know the engine may be way back into the firewall, but you wont have clearance issues, clutch linkage to think about, or a drive shaft to fabricate!

You're an engineer. Things are designed in a particular way for a reason. Sometimes the bean counters overrule but for the most part a good original design is hard to beat. It looks like a lot of effort went into your current setup. I have to admire the ingenuity displayed. When I get my engine/tranny on the frame and the clutch zbar in place I'll take some pics for you. No cab or shift linkage but it'll give you some reference to go by.
