How about putting these on top:
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=6536
with the motor studs in the holes? for 71427 or 43362 use two each side,
leaving the 9V connector free. A 2838 motor could have 5 each side.
Try these on the bottom:
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=2444
Put some plates on the motor to make the distance between the top and bottom
fixings into a round multiple of 8mm.
If you want interchangeability, use 2 of 6536 each side for all 3 motors since
they all have the same distance from the axle to the studs over the top of it
for the first 2x4 area behind the axle. One 2444 underneath each side is also
possible, though it makes it more difficult to change motors.
