Default Dry Sump Motor Mount Question?

A friend of mine is installing an ARE 4 stage dry sump system on his C6 LS3. The pump mounts where the air conditioner compressor would be. The 4 stage pump is very long and interferes with the passenger side motor mount (the piece that bolts to the block). This requires removing a lot of material from the stock motor mount.
Does anyone know of an after market mount that would fit while still maintaining the required strenght?
Thanks for any thoughts. ;-)

trying to help; as I'll be doing an ARE or aviraid competition dry sump in the next year...

there are several threads; but this member EG@EnglandGreen on this thread

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-z...mp-system.html

discusses that they have done several ARE setups with either stock or coilover suspensions. I'm sure he could get you straightened up; as it sounds like an install he's done a few times. GL.

another thread over at sand rails.. where the jist is your same question and how to handle that mount with the longer stage 4 ..call 714-738-7701
