Thanks Mr. Cheney for the constructive and informative post. I went to grad school at UCF and was semi-active in the local PCA AX and DE. We probably have some mutual friends.
I searched a little bit yesterday after Greg was kind enough to introduce his negative opinion in my classified ad. I think this is a beefed up home made quick 6 mount.
Here are some pics:

No obvious signs of cracking but I will clean up and look better before I install it.
Put the car on the lift yesterday. Will pull the tires tonight and take some better pictures. If anybody needs to see anything specific let me know.
Engine is on the stand. Going to fix a minor oil leak coming from the breather cover. Also adjust the valves, verify/adjust cam timing, and a good general cleaning.
Engine cold leakdown was 2 - 3% across all cylinders.
Hopefully this weekend I can install the engine and maybe even get the car running.
Couple of issues I have found with the car so far:
-Paint looks really nice from ~5' but up close shows a bunch or water marks. Should clean up nicely but I have not tried yet.
-Front pan has wrinkles like discussed in linked thread. Will take better pictures and post shortly.
-Carbs are from a 914-6 and are still configured for a 2.0. Engine runs strong, but doesnt have the typical 2.2S pop at higher revs.
Once the car is running and dialed in, the price will be $20k.
You guys know I paid $16k and put some labor in.
So realistically I am hoping for something between $16 and 20k.
If somebody wants to come get it as is, closer to 16.
Once I work all weekend on it, closer to 20.
