Paul,
I have attached a couple of pictures showing wood strips running from the ends of the proposed lower mount back to the engine.  Would these (if .50" 4130 or larger) tubes distribute the loads to the engine block and relieve the loads on the front cover adequately?  A cantilevered rear mount would sure make fitting the radiator and exhaust easier on a narrow cowl!

This will work but the bottom is not the real problem. It is the top attach points
and getting around the water pump and alternator.
