u will have to reinforce the part from the LE/wing saddle to the firewall .... to coupe for the vibrations from the engine the alone coro cant take..! make slots on to the fuse sides and slide in a firewall.... dont forget to gusset the back and front of the FW.... from the FW to LE use ply on the sides.... should work good...

The picture though is from http://images.rcuniverse.com/forum/upfiles/155231/Ay74280.jpg but the design was almost the same.
