Default Changing engine mount on Funtana 40

I want to mount a Magnum 80 4 stroke on a 40 size Funtana. Any suggestions on the easiest way to do this? The engine will not fit into the engine mount provided and I don't really want to move the blind nuts if I don't have to.

Thanks.

I mounted the Saito 100 on mine using the mount they supply. I DID have to move the blind nuts, spacing them out a bit.

Cheech, how much trouble was it to move the blind nuts in this plane? I think the top two blind nuts are blocked by a support.

It was a pain, moving blind nuts always is. The top ones are as high as they can go and the engine is still 1/8 to 1/4" low. But it's hardly noticable and the plane flies good.
