As far as the rear mounts go- I was thinking of having a cross brace from the upper left firwall attach point to the upper right engine mount point. I can't fit one going from the upper right firewall attach point to the upper left engine mount point- it interfers with the water pump belt. I can't( or shouldn't) have a cross tube going from the upper right firewall attached to the tube that goes from the upper left firewall to the upper left engine mount, about the midway point in the upper left tube, correct?(Anyone follow that?)

The upper right engine mount bracket is pretty close to what Mike Wills is using, but he has lightening  holes in his. I made mine and then saw that it was just about identical to his.

The distance from the firewall to the water pump housing is 14"- so firewall to prop flange should be 44".

So Paul, I think I'll take your advise and cross brace the upper mount points. Any more input is apprciated.
