I am considering it because the rear end is way too light. My brother and I picked it up to swing it into place in the shed. The rear end will be, comparatively, even lighter with the new motor/tranny in there. I was thinking a mid engine design would fix the problem of the rear end wanting to fly out/ come round all the time. It was horrible in the winter because there was no traction back there. We almost sailed off a cliff one time because of that light rear end. I can't seem to find any negatives to doing the conversion except for possibly losing the back seat, which isn't even that big of a deal. I would feel a lot safer with a mid engine and I would not worry about my wife driving in the winter time.
