John,

Thanks for the photos. That looks like a pretty clean set up. If I was going to do something similar, I think I'd change the bottom connection from an eyelet type connection to a rod type connection. I'd use sway bar link kit type bushings on the rod end. That would allow the engine to flex just a bit but I think I'd be able to control how much based on how tight I tighten the bushings.

I think I'll try installing the bolts through the motor mounts this weekend. I should be able to support the engine (with a Canton pan) using a floor jack. If not, then I guess it's plan B which is your setup.

Chris
