Default Custom offset motor mounts

Not sure using a standard motor mount is going to work for me based on where my crossmember sits.

Dirty part is the X-member. The engine still needs to go back 2" to the firewall.

So -- might have to custom fab some mounts. Who's done similar - pics ?

Didnt think it rally mattered as EVERY combo almost is going to be different. Was really after pics/ideas of custom mounts.
But ...

Thinking I might need to have either

a) Angular offset mount --- anyone done similar/got pics ?
b) Mount into frame instead of crossmember
c) Weld a support TAB off back of the X member
