Gary,
I use some 3/8" square aluminum stock and 1/2" square engine mounts. I put a chunk of CF tube though the mount and use a threaded steel pad (suitably machined out like swiss cheese) threaded to take the bolts though the mount and drill and tap the aluminum pad for the engine. You're right; different engine, different set of aluminum mounting pieces. Pretty easy. No, I've had no problems. I stripped out one of the engine mounting holes once. Again, pretty easy to fix; just replace the aluminum piece.
I've got a picture somewhere, but can't seem to find it at the moment.
