So we both have the same amount of experience!!!!!
The issue for me was the length of the buggy in our tight trails and trying to reduce the total length. As it stands right now the motor will be at the back of the swingarm and I'm not sure where I'll be able to run the shocks!! The other swingarm was looong 31", anything is possible and my mental game-plan may change as it get's further along.
The biggest surprise with this idea was when I turned the output on the engine into the differential it spun clockwise(backwards)so it made me flip the motor around to get it to turn correctly moving the axle to the other end. This motor is very heavy, so another concern is axle strength.
