Hi Paul,

I notice that almost all cars have the motor mounts set in at an
angle.  It would be simpler if I can build the motor mounts for my
Alpine (car) similar to the way Jerry builds the aircraft mounts with a
Lord mount at each end sitting vertically.  They would be much closer
to the engine though, maybe 1" away.  The engine will be supported by a
bracket that attaches to the front cover similar to the way I did the
rear mount in the BD-4, but also pick up the front four bolts on the
pan.  I assume the auto industry does that for a reason, so the
question is, if I build it as I've described, what sorts of problems
will come of it?

If you are talking piston engine car or rotary powered car
the vibration modes are different. The car mounts are optimized accordingly.
