I'm assuming the bottom of the box will be flush with the bottom edge of square end of receiver which will mean I would have to remove the material(of box) in a U shape, meaning there will be NO material underneath the receiver. What problems do you think this would cause? If it ends up being too weak I will build a bracket of some kind to re-inforce is what I am thinking.

Correct. These set-ups require a longer hitch. The only issue would be strength. As you indicated & my suspicion is the box will be flimsy. That may/may not matter.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
