You've lost me....Where are you trying to run the exhaust?
The motor will only go in one spot. It can only go as far back as the water pump pulley will allow. You could do what I have done and run a leccy w/p but it really won't give you anymore room to move it back. You really don't want it going back much further, the driveshaft angle is pretty good when w/p pulley in on.
Personally having looked at mine in the bay I seriously think the best solution to the lack of room to get a decent set of exctractors in there is to turbo it**. I think I'm just going to make up (or get made) a log style manfold and sit the turbo over the g/box. The dump pipe will then have to exit in the direction of the firewall. I've found a bit more room up front for a small intercooler and I will probably run the radiator in the passenger side wheel well. Also allows some more room for an oil cooler.
**I can't even get the standard headers in there with the motor insitu!
