The scoot the engine back idea sure has merit for weight distribution. Why not sit it all under the cab/w 4 bucket seats, radiator in stock location, elec. fans, and a big air tunnel from rad out the cab back for cooling? The cab is long enough to cover all the engine. There should be room to haul "stuff" under the hood on each side of the big air tunnel. That might leave room for an ordinary truck bed of some kind. That should have some shock effect when the hood was raised.
Thanks,
Cayoterun
