I'm certainly not an apocalyptic vehicle expert but I'd hold the motor in the position I wanted it, decide how far off the frame you'll need to span with the mounts and tackle it with one or more Evergreen or Plastruct channel, boxed tube, or other shaped rod stock.

Made these motor mounts out of solid rod in the method John describes above. Not entirely accurate but they did the job.
