Face mount motors are a PITA to use for any other purpose than designed,
for the reasons you describe above. Mounting is the easier part; you could
cobble up a cradle, make a face mount adapter from a big piece of angle
iron, giving you a foot under the motor. WW Grainger also sells mounting
cradles for face mount motors.
Adapting the shaft will be a bigger problem. You will probably need access
to a lathe to make an adaptor.
It might be less trouble to just round up a standard motor.
