    A really nice mod is to make an engine clamp bar. Using 1" x .5" x 6" long bar stock, drill and tap your holes on the adjusting slot centers. Then place the bar beneath the engine mounting plate and pass your bolts thru the engine, the plate and thread into the bar stock. That way, the engine can be moved using only one wrench.
