this one seems  just about right  to my eyes.     It is 24" between
Barry Mt bushing centers and should work for most installations
except turbos.    There is room to route the exhaust tubes straight
down or down and back.

Does not look like the new bell housing will happen in the
foreseeable future so this is by far the best alternative.
Eliminates a lot of weight and makes one part do two jobs.

Thanks Jerry.

Jerry,
What does the MM plate weigh?

Paul,
Thanks for the ideas on mounting points!

Jerry,
Did you ever weigh the MM?  I think it looks a bit heavy (I could be wrong
though).  Would it be worthwhile to help you optimize it?  Have you done a
FEM of it?  The only problem though is I would need one to accommodate a
stock turbo ;-(
