Hi motogphayden. Welcome to the forum. I've dreamed of what you're thinking but it won't work. The webbing for the crank journals are in the way. Also, you would have to remove the transmission to unbolt the flex plate from the back of the crankshaft. Next, there would be no way to get a piston ring compressor up there to install the piston.
