A endfed vertical for 40m is around 67'. Could a coil be placed in the
center of the endfed wire to shorten it to say 40'? This would make it
easier for my portable QRP work but will it work? Any thoughts on a short
ended 1/2 vertical?

It will certainly work and if you put the coil in the exact center of
the 1/2WL, it will satisfy the folks who claim that the net current into
the coil is the same magnitude as the net current out of the coil. :-)
