Hey Freebeard
Do you have a link to this site? Or the part number for the motor in question? 600 HP sounds nice for a Z3
Guess what rolled into my parking lot... A toyo highlander. One of the guys who used to work here has one and let me crawl around under it taking pictures. That front mount is an iron piece and tucked up in there pretty good. The whole unit sits on a removable sub-frame.
E*clips is right it is designed to handle a lot of torque.
I am thinking it would come in handy in your application as it would put the mounts to either side of "or on top" of that wishbone arrangement you have in the stock VW mount. No need to go up through the sheet metal work as the mount angles down on either side. The rear mount looks like it would fit in a plate that could bolt across those two bolts where the transmission bell sat.
