I don't want to rain on anyone's parade BUT,,,, by the time you;
1. modify the engine to turn backwards, with the problems with oil pumps, distributors, starters oil seals etc, etc
2. Try to get an axle to last more than 500 miles while running it up side down.
3. Make a transmission that is meant to turn one way, turn the opposite direction.
Maybe the ZF transaxle is still the cheapest way to go.
Sorry, but I've tinkered with engine swaps, trans swaps and diff swaps all my life. Few of them worked as well as my imagination.
If you're sold on midengine, get the engine and transaxle from a front wheel drive car you like and mount it behind the driver.
My $.02
