I'd be curious as to the drive belt engagement given your configuration.
We can use the motor mounts to apply more tension if needed, just have to drill more holes.

Speed is based on JVN's calculator set to 81%. and double checked by my awful math and an 80% efficiency.

Belt runs can be seen here. After teaching drafting for ten years I realized I had never used the design accelerator in my life, so I had to play with it for a while to see what it could do. Ignore the fact that there is a 9mm belt on the wheel pulleys. That would be an 18mm belt there.
