I realize some other mods would be nessasary to the motor mount plate ETC but is this a possibilty if the motror and trans were to spin in the direction needed ?

You could I suppose, gearbox spins both ways so not sure I see a reason why you couldn't. However, you'd have to do extensive mods to the chassis to flip it around.

Basically you'd need to cut out the red portion on both sides to allow the motor plate to fit in. Also at least on these you'd need to do a bit of work in bracing the motor plate as there is no material where the motor plate mouns would be.
