What you probably see is the water block taking the place of a water pump.
So you used an electric water pump that is remotely located, and the water block handles the flows..?

PS: By any chance you got a couple of pictures of the rear end of the engine? Curious to see how far back the engine is, the angle of the driveshafts, how crowded is the area where the engine and gearbox mate?

Thanks again!

Correct on the water pump. The engine room ends up no more crowded than originally.

The transaxle is exactly in its stock position back to front. It is lower by about 1 inch.
