The additional room is very nice but this can be a lethal suggestion unless additional efforts are in place. I recommend placing the car's wheels or another different under the frame and floorboard if you don't have wheels to use then put each on top of two parallel pieces of 2x4. Try to get them tall enough to leave only and in or two of clearance on top.

I don't know that you could still use it. You need to find the diameter of the output shaft on each and how many splines are on them first.
