I had a quick look at Brian's calc. The pinion would need to be much smaller, 11-12t.

Motor above the diff works well. CD mounted to custom bottom plate, fits right up in the tranny hole, slight filing may be needed around the outdrive cups. Gearing would be quite limited with stock F/R diffs, which is why I will be using Muggy diff gears to give a little more choices. I will also be using a 48 - 50t spur (12/46 shown) to give further gearing options, although 11/46 fits current configuration.
