Where would you slide the angle iron? Under the rear mounts? The forward mounts are the ones visible in the picture in the link I sent (in the drivetrain photo) - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BxfHpwssU_6NfnpXZjYta205U0pmeW1Ba0Fla2U3YmNBX1ByU1c4TURtb0ZaVDk2VVFQQ28 Yes it is a v-drive, so that's fwd and the rear of the engine. Those are the mounts I want to remove. The very bottom of the engine (oil pan) has only about 1/4" clearance above the prop shaft log so I suppose I could put something in there. I figured out today that lag screws are like wood screws, and your issue with them might be that in theory they could pull out of the stringers. I don't know what the current screws securing the mount to stringer are, but hopefully they are lag screws because otherwise I don't know how I'd get them out. I'll find out when I take them out. Anyway, sounds like this is a get-in-there-and-experiment type of job, so I'll start trying some of these ideas when I have time this Sunday.
