......apparently, even though the Cosmo motor mounts bolt on in a different location, the rear housing has all the bolts for the FD's engine mounts........

Ok, three months later, I finally have an update! The good news is the motor is in the car using custom made motor mounts. More good news, these mounts will be available throuch Compact Car Performance in Naples, Florida. They're fairly simple, made out of cast iron and triangulated on the passenger's side (and we may triangulate them on the driver's side too). It bolts to the engine in three locations, two on the rear plate (just like stock cosmos) and one on the intermediate plate. I'm the guinea pig but they look strong enough considering the factory mounts are aluminum. Everything is being checked over and it should be up and running tonight (Saturday) and ready to go by Tuesday morning. Then comes the long, arduous 1K mile break in proceedure before I can slap it on a dyno and start tuning fuel. How about a few pics? Here's an "overall" of both sides at once. Engine sits in the same location, same height, etc...
