Yes. You have to drill backwards tranny holes in the chassis.

and what about the shock tower? how does that mount?

The aluminum block that the shock tower bolts to has 3 holes. Line up the outside ones so that you can put your screws in through the unused holes for the old 6 gear tranny, and then drill the center one. Everything should be pretty tight between the suspension arm mounts, so you can't really mess it up. Your top brace will just go on backwards (don't use the body mount).

Don't forget to turn your gears around in the tranny. The top shaft and the diff screw should still be on the right of the car. Of course you'll also have to turn the arms on the opposite sides too, bvut don't swap the mounts. You'll need to come up w/ a body mount...I used the V-shaped one from the Intimidator, w/ small piece of kydex bent at a 90* angle, off the back of the shock tower. Your battery cradle will have to be moved ahead about 1/2 an inch to clear the motor.

Sorry, I don't have pics...sold that car a while back.

If the track has alot of traction, it handles well.

Just by looking at the pictures, I don't know why you'd want to use the short wheelbase?

Are you using delta shocks? If you use the OLD stock front springs (or orange Wolfes) with the aluminum shafts, 30 wt oil and the stock shock tower (not the enforcer tower)....20* block on the right and a 15* block on the left, the car should turn plenty. The trick is to make sure everything is nice and free.

With the mid motor set up, I actually ran deltas in the back too...
