Well, there is a Mid-Engine section on LocostBuilders so you could ask there. However, that said, I'm not aware of any freely available designs. I've been slowly piecing together my own design for the last few years as have a number of other regulars in the mid-engined section. Here's a shot of the 1:6 balsa model, missing most of the front suspension bay (just imagine Locost) as well as a few other important bits.

The metal version is getting closer to this state but it's a (very) slow process.

Very nice design. Looks well solid.
Love the Norm Abrams wheels.
