One would hope. The White Zombie has tandem motors and it's a race between burning rubber and melting cables.

The rear mounts are in plane with the ends of the frame arms. There are two other arms that hold the tops of the shock absorbers. The front motor mount is about 9" above the forward stock transmission mount and points up. A bar that is bent similar to the Toyota bracket and about 29-32" wide would bridge between the shock mounts and pass above the transaxle mount point. I'm concerned about the 9" lever arm if it is only perched atop the front mount

That could all be rigid mounted with Toyota bushings all around.

e*clipse -- Someone with more resources than you or I will figure it out. Maybe it has to do with cryogenic tempering to tweak the grain structure. Certainly, that would be a good precursor step to final machining of the raw part.

Thanks for reposting those links. I should take a look. I'm already concerned about the part supply drying up.
