As Foamaholic said the motor can be reversed for mounting and best of all it's really easy to do. I broke my prop shaft and it only took me about 5 minutes to replace it. It wouldn't take any longer to take the prop shaft loose and move the set screw in teh back and the clip on the front so the prop shaft comes out theback instead of the front. Then you can mount the motor to the firewall with the included mount.
