E*clips is right it is designed to handle a lot of torque.

Last night I did some double checking fits on my car. The MGR will fit tightly if mounted backwards in the rear. I'll have to cut out two gas tank support brackets. If mounted in the direction it was designed, the rear suspension gets in the way and the driveshafts would be at too much of an angle.
In the front it will be MUCH easier. I actlually have space for two MGR's side by side. WOO WOO!
The motor rear mount will be easy using that double bolt poly isolator - I'll just weld a round reciever (or two) to the frame crossmember. The front will be easy using a top mounted crossmember that mounts to the frame rails. In fact, it will be just as easy to built the mount for 1 motor as two. Hmmm Perhaps this is an opportunity for a built-in frame stiffener....
