Barny,
I am not sure I understand your question. The beam mount is rectangular 4130
steel tubing, I calculated the bending loads and sized it to stay within
stress levels.  You are putting in a 20B, so the wall thickness would hve to
be greater (I used 0.065 wall) .  The ends are 1/2" 2024 Aluminum Bar stock.

Also I think Barny is missing the fact it goes under the custom 
aluminum oil pan flange at what was the rear of the engine and not 
between the oil pan and the engine.
