Paul the engine mount fixture on 3/4" ply will move on you when heat is
applied to the 4130.  I know I made two that did not fit firewall after
metal cooled.

The best thing I found to use is discarded bed rails.. cheap angle iron and
use a lot of braces and the darn mount will still try to pull as it cools if
you use a torch.

I would love to have an iron worker for wacking off angle iron.
Angle iron sounds like the hot tip. I have a band saw that I can 
cut it with slowly.

I would go with aluminum angle but I am worried about heat 
expansion. Aluminum angle can be quickly cut with a carbide blade
in my chop saw. Hey... come to think of it I can get a friction
cut off blade for my chop saw that will cut angle iron.
Since I don't have welding tanks I guess I could bolt it
together.
