Hypothetically, wouldn't it be easier to just swap the motor, trans, etc to the trunk and make it rear engine? You'd have to move the fuel tank and mess with some of the suspension and whatnot, but then you wouldn't have to worry about all the complications of a drivetrain, new tranny, etc, etc.

you're also gonna need a hefty amount of bracing in the rear end to mount the axle. i could see a lot of the metal back there just buckling from not being designed to handle the power being put down back there
