Any thoughts on this location

What are the thoughts on using the horseshoe mount in the stock 6 cylinder location and adding those side brackets for stability? My concern is if its too far forward-thanks in advance

No need for that horseshoe if you have all of the correct side mounts.

Yah, Just remember that your exhaust is the only thing that is really going to give you a hard time. You would be wise to set a pair of heads on it with the exhaust manifolds you think you want to run. Everything else is really cake on these engines. They don't make very many versions of exhaust for these engines so I wouldn't even bother to have that engine setting in there for a "MOCK UP" unless you had the exhaust manifolds/headers also on the engine.
