But in a way it completely changes the way the car looks and will not look like an optima mid anymore.

not quite sure what you mean that it would change the front gearbox and the top plate..if you were to run a triumph rear diff case the front belt would take the same path as the standard mid gear box i would have thought the only change would be that the front belt would be driven straight from the lay shaft. the only change in the rear would be that the gears are replaced by a rear belt..just a thought.. i'm now more curious for myself if this would work
