Ken, What year engine do you have? Does your mount attach to the 6 holes that are at the front(for A/C)Rear(for automobile) bottom of the oil pan? It sounds like what I did, except that I used an 18" long piece of 6061 T6 angle, 1/2" thick by 3" by 3". All I needed to cut it out was a metal cutting blade in a Saber saw, and then sanded it out with a stationary disc sander.

I made similar mounts attached to where the a/c compressor was and to an extended flange from the intake manifold.

Brian,
The engine is a 1986 6-port.  The mount is on the prop end of the engine and mounts to the holes that
you describe.  The mounts will be 18.25" apart center-to-center.  This leaves room for a 16" wide
radiator.  I made it out of steel because it will be integral to the custom oil pan which needs to be
4130 steel so I can oxy/acc weld it.
