y axis motor mounting suggestions

The only problem with turning the motor 180 is having to have the ballscrew longer like Dean's in the photo where the ballscrew is the whole length of the gantry. I mean it might be fine if you guys can confirm it will be OK but from gantry plate to gantry plate it measures 1780mm and with that length it's asking for the use of rotating ballnut right?

The length of my ball screw was by machine design and had nothing to do with the motor, the motor mount bracket will slide along the profile to meet any length of ball screw.

Like Clive mentioned below why are you showing a large pulley on the motor, you want this the other way around.
