mounts</title></head><body>
<blockquote type="cite" cite><tt>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I also have an
idea for a mount that supports the engine under<br>
the middle of the engine.&nbsp; I would have 2 cross bars (for and
aft)<br>
and 2 longitudinal supports bolted solidly to the cross bars.&nbsp;
These<br>
for and aft supports would be rubber mounted at a single point per<br>
side to engine mounting bosses on the engine.&nbsp; This would stay
clear<br>
of the headers, allow the engine to move on all axis', and spread<br>
the load on the vans' frame rails to 4 points instead of 2.&nbsp;
Steel<br>
is cheap so it wouldn't be expensive.&nbsp; Maybe 15-20 lbs heavier

<div><tt>I am trying out triple mounts... the transmission nose mount,
a rear mount (taken from the aircon pump mount) and a center mount
(under the front ends of the heads, and may be the stock EG mount
location). We'll see how this works... should take the strain off the
bellhousing.</tt></div>
