Paul;
I have no background in engineering and am therefore amazed that only three
supports on each side of the engine is enough to handle the torque, weight
and thrust from the engine.  Is there nothing needed at the rear of the
engine for support?  Reading and learning, Marc M.

The loads are real low back there so I have not decided what to do yet for the
third motor mount. I will probably weld a bracket to the oil pan and build a 1/2 dia. tube
mount bolted to the fire wall. With the KIS it is a tri gear and there is a strut
that runs up the center of the firewall so the tube mount must clear that.
