The only issue I fore-see is that the rear chassis braces bolt onto the chassis right behind the center diff, so you may need a rather funky motor mount that bridges over that area, and bolts to the chassis with some new holes that could be drilled, then bolt it to the existing center diff too for extra security. Should be able to work something suitable out though, and I hope you do, since I really like the look of the Mantis too for a conversion....
