Re: the mounts -

They're really not all that difficult to make, but it all depends on how stiff/soft you want your mounts to be. If you're hardcore, and you're OK with vibration, you don't even need rubber inserts. If you're not cool with vibrations, you'll want some give in your mounts, so you should use one side of each mount that has rubber in it. There are also "in between" settings, which can be achieved with pourable urethanes.

There isn't going to be a "simple" kit that will put that engine in that chassis. It's just not going to happen. Get yourself plenty of 3mm steel and cutting/welding apparatus, as well as plenty of old cereal boxes and shoe boxes to cut your piece templates.
