Looking for a large scale project

[VintageMA]

Looks like the two biggest challenges are going to be:
1 - How to mount motor - largescaleRC.com might be able to help as they have some LMT motors mounted pretty cleanly in the experimental BL setups.
2 - How and where to fit 10S into the model securely. Doesn't look like too many big spaces to fit a long pack based on pics I can see, but the models are over 2 ft. long so maybe the pics are deceiving. Would be nice to be able to at least get a 10S-3300mAh TP pack in there (~3000 watts at 25C rating).

I have a feeling I am going to get ahead of myself very quickly on this one as I don't have the ~$3K right now that this project would probably end up costing.
