Looks Like it will work good lito. The savage dogbone can be had for ~$12 shiped. Heres what I had in mind: not too sure if the g1 and g2 chassis are same demension wise though..
If I mount it this far up it might work without a chassis adapter plate. But I am not sure it will work until I get a diff with a 44 tooth gear. It might be to far foward but I have lots of room to move it back but a adapter like litos most likely will also have to be made.
It is almost as if the braces welcome the motor where they go down.Notice how the motor sits as low as possible for better cog and driveline angles.
The savage xl bone is ~141mm compared to the ue 132mm mono dogbone so I am not sure if its long enough to make this setup possible but it will move the assembly ~9mm foward more which isnt much. Anybody got a center diff with a 44t steel gear they want to sell? My ofna 46tooth hyper diff is just a hair to wide.
