No room without losing part of the back seat or springing for the Areneson/Merc conversion kit, a bit pricey for the average hobbyist and still leaves the engine at standard height.
I picked up an A drive three years ago that is now an ornament in my garage, but for that same period I have made it a point to look over and study any A drive install that I came across. Most have been commercial setups. I feel the most reliable setup is a V drive using a non drop box unit of which I found two, I asked as many questions as I could both were more than happy. In a Classic hull it would allow the engine to be lower by a few inches and placed farther aft to help with weight transfer. Geo proved weight transfer in our V hulls with an A drive is critical, to achieve the performance he did he also resorted to a skeg fin and Arneson rocker plates to finally top 120.

You could always put it in a stand off box like Cris was going to do or like they do on the Konrad ACE drive.

You could build your own.
Lots of knowledge here to help you make it happen.
And this boat isn't gone, just on a bit of a hiatus.

I was chatting with a local engine builder and brought up Mighty Mouse, when I told him it made it past 120 he went nuts with BS. It there a link to verify Geo's final speeds? I cannot find any links on the Arneson site the whole format has changed.
