If you insist on using four motor mounts at the
 four corners of the engine and you are going to make a
 new oil pan this is a much lighter weight and much
 cheaper way of doing it. I call it the Schertz
 beam after the inventor Bill Schertz. The oil pan
 must be designed accordingly of course.

 Bill, do you have another pic? The last one is a bit out of focus.

This one shows the other end of the beam, withthe engine sitting in

place.

I will have to try to take another closeup of the end with the oil

cooler

outlet end to get a non-fuzzy one. I have to borrow a digital camera, so

may

be a couple of days.

Is that oil cooler blocked on the back side by the Schertz beam?
