I take it that section that is on the lead screw pointing forward can be pivoted up or towards the back?
If so do that and then make a plate between it and the reverse/forward pivot and clamp it down.? This will be perpendicular to the lead screw axis.? Make the plate large enough to hold the motor which is mounted on stand-offs.? Pulley on motor and leadscrew and you are done.

I've attached an adobe 3D PDF of my Gingery X axis motor mount so you can look at it from all angles and here it is mounted.? In my case I cast it to include the stand offs but you can turn 4 posts to length.

Here we are on the banjo end:
Now I am looking for suggestions on how to mount the motor.
This end seems friendlier to utilize I just need ideas for mounting the motor.
Obviously I could add a pulley to the leadscrew.
Mounting the motor on the bench top would work.
I'd like to see mounting the motor on that 2" x 4" flat space to the left of the leadscrew.
Everything I have pictured kinda hangs out there, not very firm or pretty.
I do have some 3x5 angle iron I could trim the 3" down.
