need measurements -- building an electric 986

Hello,
My son and I are looking to convert a 986 to electric. We'll take out the engine and the transaxle and put in a differential (possibly from an old supra -- we need a 4.88 ratio and that diff can be upgraded) and drive it direct. But before we go ahead and buy a 986, we need to figure out if we can fit the motor and the differential! We think we need 31.5 inches from the axle to the front of the engine compartment (that is, right behind the seats, about 12 inches higher than the axle). Anyone know the distance?
Thanks.
