As long as you're designing different options, I still think it would be advantageous to offer the shorter block face to half-shaft length. It would provide 2" extra space into which a new builder could place front dress items and many builders rue the short clearances between pulleys/belts and the framework. I'm anticipatiing the GT40 will be my first build, and I have no enthusiasm for dealing with 1/4" clearances or rebuilding a bulkhead to gain clearance. Kit manufacturers are use to welding in special order motor mount locations, so I don't think that would be a problem for a new build.
Sandy's right, though--those retrofitting would be much better off with the same dimensions as the original ZF.
We'll all be watching as this exciting product develops!
