I have been thinking of doing something like that also. Let me know how it turns out. Great idea, I like outside the norm thinking.

I just had another thought.
How much firewall would have to be cut to fit the engine back into the engine bay so the radiator would set in the stock location? I was just thinking moving the engine back in the chassis will help with weight distribution.
