Could you not just lower the engine/gearbox at the back? Comparing the chassis to the Sportster I can see you have a crossmember towards the rear of the box which I guess is the main problem? As I remember (haha - few years since I crawled underneath) the Sportster is a peripheral chassis with little in the way of crossmembers allowing the back of the box to be quite low and supported by the transmission tunnel on a bracket.
