Mid-rear. I've been trying designs in SketchUp Make, it is free downloadable 3d modeling. The Locost forum has great info for what metal is adequate, likewise plans for DIY CJ5 Jeep frames. I've done adapter plates before, getting either engine to that transaxle is doable. But enough about mine.
My reference to triple drag is not an exact scientific ratio, but is really obvious if you compare even something like the '83 RX-7 I'm building against something more like this: http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/3451/1326657812.jpg
