Similar plan here. I'll use a steel backing plate w/SS machine screws to secure the filler in place.

I actually considered doing a little from each of my choices from the previous pics (weld in a flat piece of steel across multiple floor runners beveling the edges between to match the factory & simply mount the filler in the center).

I figured if my 1st attempt didn't work out, it's simply a matter of cutting it out @ welding in the flat piece.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
