It'll be a killer street/drag setup for certain.

Road racing, not so much. You might want to revisit your front diff choices as the GM front diffs are far from performance oriented in that realm. Further, with a 4L80 and transfercase and turbo, your gonna be putting on a bit of poundage and theres going to be some heat concerns with the tight fits.

What about a modified oilpan with a driveshaft through pan and set the engine far back into more of a front-mid-engine setup?
There might be some options with retrofitting a porsche front axle out of a C4S, it's been a while since I've seen one; but I *think* they are rather small.

It's very challenging to have a front and low V# longitudinally mounted for 4wd use. I always imagined it as being a front mid-engine with the the trans output being a little behind the center line. Transfer case with small diameter driveshaft then running hugged next to the block on the passenger side. Granted, AC might go bye bye. Basically very similar to the new gtr, but it's still a bit too high mounted.
