Default changing motor mounts

Hi All
Does anyone know of a "work smarter not harder" methodof changing glow engine motor mounts? The current spacing of the motor mount on a hand-me-down Kadet is too narrow and the engine can't fit between them. Trying to minimize the amount of work, I tried a GP adjustable mount, but the firewall mounting holes didn't line up with any positionof the adjustable mount. Another option would to createa new firewall, set it up for the current engine, then glue or screw the new firewall directly to the original firewall. That would be the easiest and straight forward approach. The one I am least incline to do, would be to knock out the t-nuts from the old mounting holes, re-drill to the spacing of the new engine, then somehow fish the t-nuts thru the fuse to the front which can be a pain.

Any ideas?
thanks
John
