I put the engine back together yesterday, sans rotors.  The main
object was to see how the throttle bodies and exhaust system looked
together and also to locate the bracket on the firewall  that will
receive the rear strut.    The firewall, which is .018 SS,  will be
reinforced from the back side.  In the first photo,  one butterfly is
wide open and the other is at idle. I was able to hang the engine in
the engine mount with the exhaust attached.    Jerry

Jerry I think you should make that rear MM strut longer.
As the prop thrust is applied to the engine the engine wants to move forward
slightly. That will change the thrust angle. You can go all the way to the
top where the cross tube on the fuse is located. Stronger too in the bargain.
Less beef up on the firewall.
