Been looking around at other drivelines that are similar in layout and there is a similar transfer case attached to the Suzuki Vitara which has a very light weight 2.7L V6. The transfer case in the Suzi has one directly out the back of the box and the front is offset, but could probably fab a new rear housing for the transfer case to run 2 offset tailshafts as per a range rover box. It would be a lot lighter and more compact.

Looking at this picture, I cant help but feel that before you do lots of fabrication moving a gearbox output, it may be worth having a look at some front wheel drive gearboxes. As in just turn the complete engine and box through 90 deg.
Something with a big gearbox would hopefully give enough room to run an inline engine if not a V.
Maybe worth looking at the old Volvo T5 850!
