For drifting where is the best place for the engine
Front, would be the best all round.
Mid-engined would be ok, but more tricky. Rear engined is just a no-no.
Generally you want a FR layout with a limited slip diff.

In the junkyard.
you could use 4 engines that drive one each wheel and they are battery powered because in drifting the more engines you have = more powahh = more smokahh = more *cough* epicfail *cough*
since electric cars make lots of torques you could make a blackhole in a drift server and make those Big L's dissapear 4 eva !

Engine location wouldn't really matter, what's important is weight ditribution, more weight to the rear and your rear end is all over the place, less weight on the rear, and your tires will spin easily, bu it wil be harder to control..
lol you just contradicted yourself, last time I checked, the weight is usually distributed to which end the engine is at....
not really weight distribution can be messed with
If the car was just something with four wheels and an engine, yes, but an engine is typically only about 1/8 to 1/5 the cars weight..
It doesnt really matter where the engine is. As long as the car is Rear Wheel drive, it can be FWD, or 4WD but RWD is the best for drifting.
Having your erngine in the car, and attached to the gearbox also helps a lot.
mounted on the axle, to ensure the power transfare is good ( regardless of suspention layout... )
Well having the engine attached to the car is a good thing to start...
Technically, engines aren't really attached onto the car.
Well, I guess an engine mount does count as being attached so never mind.i always wanted to do that .... but i cant ....
It's really hard, actually. I tried it and ended up rolling about on the floor in pain after I slipped... you get the rest. 
ahahah ... xD
before christmas it snowed here .. and i have a road bike ( u kno... like tour de france ) and i was really bored... so guess what ? i invented a new winter dicipline for the x-games

Half piping on a road bike? Sounds lush.

nah ... i dont have a half pipe near my house so i didnt try that.... it was more of a rally stage in a snowy road with a road bike .... it was scary.... and i learnt how to apply more torque and have more grip in slippery surfaces
With slick tyres? Must've been fun. 
For drifting the best is front engine and rearwheel drive. When the engine is at the front, the weight is away from the rearwheels making them easier to lose grip and causing oversteer. And the rearwheel drive adds to making it easier of losing grip at the rearwheels which is what you want to make the rear slide. I have drifted alot in real life, and the easiest way to get into a slide and hold it I found in BMW's and Ford Granadas and other cars who have the engine at the front and rearwheel drive.
depends on weight distribution, Mr is a difficult set-up to drive let alone drift,
i find away from driving a mates AW11 that its easier to slide that then it is say.. a 530d or even a 2.0 pinto sierra.
