this is the only one I've seen, and it's really steep....might as well buy a new bumper for the price....

I bought the rough Country TJ winch plate ($60) and with sheet metal and plastic trimming it lays right on the JK frame rails. I drilled through the frame and am on the way to hardware store to get 5" grade 8 bolts now. It will easily mount my Warn M8000, but I don't know about that big powerplant.........does it have the standard 10x4.5 bolt pattern.

as mentioned, so long as you have a winch plate for your bumper, you shouldn't have any problems with this setup.
