I am just wanting some info on cost , fabrication , annoyance , and opinions on whether the I could convert any of the first 3 listed to rear engine.
Get an aircooled VW. If you want it more aero, there are a ton of kitcars based on the chassis. Converting a front-engine car to rear-engine doesn't make a lot of sense, especially since the motor, at 230 pounds tops, doesn't affect weight distribution nearly as much as batteries do.
