Torque strap - chain same difference.

Engine mounts were fine. The engine had a good amount of torque that was released by the lifting/twisting of the engine on the frame. All was tight.

On the ERA a small amount of flex will result in the pipes lifting enough to hit the body work.

Chain (and only 1) goes from drivers side rail to block. Engine does not budge. accomplishes the same thing as the strap.
