Alex, with a few changes to the water pump
and intake plenum I can use a simple top mount
and simplify the main motor mount greatly.

You will need to add a hard point to the top of the
firewall at the center. This is a real old idea used
by Power Sport 20 years ago.

Here is what the low cost version of the Tango mount with the
top motor mount. Fewer laser cut tubes and welded joints.
Rotary installation is driven by cost.

I had an idea on how to mod an off the shelf car shock
and convert it to an air spring.

Drill a hole and drain the oil. Tig weld or braze a pipe
fitting on. refill with oil and plumb to an air pressure
can.

You can buy shocks that way now. Takes the fun out of when the shock will blow
up when the oil vapourizes from the heat.

Got any specific car model suggestions Dale.
Preferably something heavy like a sport ute or pickup truck.

Got any junk ones lying around I can play with and test.
I'll pay shipping. I need mono tubes.
