Is someone here running a car with the SDU reversed?

Hello,
I am a new member here, and I have a project that looks to be well suited to a Tesla SDU.
I have done some lurking and reading and see several posts about running a Tesla SDU with the drive unit in 180 degree orientation from stock, and swapping forward & reverse (with various things done to compensate such as modifying the parameters, reworking / removing / remoting the oil pump, reversing the motor leads ((??? can't think of a pretty way to do that!)) and so on...
Is anyone actually running a car set up this way and have some real world results to report?
It would be of such great help to know if this is a practical solution or a possibility that is best avoided.

Thanks!

Thanks for the thread link, the project is similar to mine (mid engine donor vehicle) and looks to be very nicely implemented!
It does appear to have been run for a time, I have posted an inquiry on his very informative thread.
Any other real use results would be appreciated as well!
