Default Four star 60 engine mounting

Hello all,
In the instructions manual it states to have the engine so you have the dimensions of the motor mounts to install the blind nuts. I have a friend who would like me to build him the kit while I'm building mine. He wants the mods he wouldn't get in an ARF. But he has no intention to fly it soon and doesn't know what engine he would like in it yet. Could this be done without the engine purchased. The only thing I see in the way is that the 3/4" angle stock with is glued vertically behind the firewall in the tank compartment where I think the blind nuts would be behind. Any suggestions on how to get around that problem, and how are ARFs sold, do they have engine mounts in them or does the buyer have to deal with mounting the engine mounts into the 3/4" angle stock, or are the ARFs built different. Any advise would be great. Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Pat
