As far as freewheeling the motor when it's not being used, I remember from the EVDL that there's no problem doing this as long as you don't overspeed it. You can check with Jim Husted on the EVDL, but I'm pretty sure that the shafts on the ADC can handle the torque from the engine.

Again, thats what I'm looking for as far as strength and free-wheeling, thanks.
Your reference incorporates a bed mount with chain drive I believe? There is room for a straight inline driveshaft install. I am concerned about allowing to move with the suspension, verses a rigid frame mount.
