What have you decide to do Rick? I have a bit of time
right at the moment. Here is one of my mount designs flying
on a turbo charged Cozy. I no longer recommend this type of
mount as it requires a motor plate and is more complicated
to build properly.

The last three 3Ds are better and simpler. The neat thing
about a canard pusher you can brace the mount laterally
over to one side or the other or both. That totally frees up
the bottom of the engine for the cooling system.

Is there any support to the firewall end of the motor in the 3D drawings
of the pusher mount?  it appears to only be supported at the vertical
flange between the motor and PSRU.
Are the loads really that different for a pusher?  i am mounting a 20B
to a velocity XL-5

I kind of leave that out as there area a zillion ways
of doing it. The loads are super low in the range of
50 pounds or less. Here are some examples.
