I hadn't noticed that you have moved the engine inboard, but now that you mention it, you certainly have, about as far as possible in fact. That is a very customised SB45.
I'm not fond of major backlapping, since the result is likely to be some matching waves in reel and bedknife, so when you finally get it ground, quite a bit more metal needs to be taken off both components to get them back to straight. However, you aren't the first backlapping enthusiast to be here on Outdoorking, it certainly has its adherents.
