Simply not possible, I'm afraid. A nice idea but impractical in reality, there are far too many variables.
Much better for the maker to modify the design to suit a particular power unit, which either they might have to hand, or which the customer would have to provide.
Having made engine mountings for various cars, and modified chassis to suit, I know that there is no way of providing a 'universal' chassis. Slots alone would be nowhere near enough, the mountings would have to be able to move in 3 dimensions and by a considerable amount.
