I always mount the engines from the side. Use the rear two bolts holes of the left motor mount and the two holes on the skirt of the engine which are oh, 5 or 6 inches to the rear of the motor mount bolt holes. Drill the plate on your new motor stand to match these holes and use grade 8 bolts; the size is 3/8-16. Do not use the arms supplied with the stand. Locate the holes as close to the bottom of your plate as possible to keep the center of gravity of the engine as low as possible. This will make it easier to flip the engine end for end while assembling.
