Engine cradle
I've been doing some serious measuring under my hood, and I am pretty sure I could put any engine I wanted in there, but the problem I keep coming to is how to mount it. I really don't want to build supports from the frame because they wouldn't look right to me no matter how I did them. What I was planning was to build an engine cradle which could mount to the original stock mounts.
Looking at the engine compartment
You can see that there is no place on the sides to mount it to.
My question is has anybody has tried an engine cradle in that vein. The problem I can think of is that it might not handle the added torque.
