Hi Kev,
The motor mount tabs go through the slots in the firewall, then you need to add some triangular balsa reinforcements around the joints, on both sides of the firewall. I hope the images below explain it pretty clearly. I'm not sure, but the backmounted version may be a bit heavier than the front mounted one.
