Default Installing a new engine mount?

I just recieved my new Phoenix Giles 202 today,the MDS 58 will not fit into this plane because the mount is to narrow and the MDS muffler will be to large,so im going with a Pitts style,how would I change the mount to a larger one?
As you can see they have it mounted @ a 45, I want to put the new mount in @90 degrees.
This airplane really looks nice,tight covering,nice color,and the price...114.00, with 20.00 off for ordering over 150.00 makes this plane 95.00 from Tower!

You can get adjustable mounts. You will have to drill new holes in the firewall.

Take out the blind nuts from the original mount and epoxy some dowl in the holes and drill holes for your new mount and enjoy.
